Preciosa casa en la zona de la Habana vieja, quedamos encantados con la casa y con el trato recibido, nos ayudaron en todo lo que necesitábamos, tarjeta sim, taxis, traslado del aeropuerto, excursión a Viñales, recomendaciones de restaurantes... La habitación doble es preciosa, con balcón, impresionante techo alto y una cama muy cómoda. Nuestra primera para en Cuba fue genial gracias a estos anfitriones.

Our experience was quite bad. First of all, this place feels more like a hotel than someone's home. The owners do not live there, but rent all the rooms that are managed by several different people. The house is very noisy, just on top of a busy streat where people shout and play loud music all night long---we had lot of trouble sleeping at night even though we are very easy with sleep in general. In addition, we had the impression that the manager of the rooms wanted to take advantage of us financially. Although all our other hosts shared their internet for free, in this place we were asked to pay 5 dollars for a sim card. In the last day, the manager also seemed to not understand that we needed him to book us a taxi, even if we told him 3 times in advance, and he promised he would do it---the taxi was not booked, we could not find another one on time, and we ended up losing our flight! Needless to say, when we went back to ask for some help, he refused to give it to us. Such a pity to have this bad experience in Havana. We do not recommend this place, there many other ones that you can choose to enjoy your stay!

We are very sorry that your stay in our house has not been to your liking. We have been shocked by your comment since at all times we were attentive to your needs, trying to help you both given your financial situation. Regarding the Wi-Fi, we explain that it is not free. You must buy the ETECSA card to be able to connect and this is clarified in our profile. We do not provide taxi service, it is a help that we offer. In your specific case, you only requested information about the cost of the taxi to the airport and never confirmed. If you missed your flight as a result of the lack of coordination between you both, you cannot blame us. Upon returning from the airport it was not possible to accommodate you at home due to lack of availability, however we offered you help to find accommodation for that night, but we did not see it as fair to have to cover those expenses as compensation for missing the flight. Notwithstanding if we would had the posibility, we would have let you stay at no cost. Greetings.

A short but lovely stay. The house is beautifull, all the staff very friendly, the room was clean and the shower was even better. Thank you for having us, and thank you for the late check out and use of the shower before our flight.
