Dear Carmen and Carlos we absolutely enjoyed our trip to Cuba, especially to Havanna and your Casa!
We've been your first guests since March due to the Coronavirus.Carmen and Carlos are super friendly and polite. They gave us a warm welcome and a lot of tips. Their English is perfect. This was great for us, as we can't speak Spanish. The apartment is super central in old Havanna. Just around the corner are plenty of very good restaurants and bars. Sadly it wasn't so easy to find open restaurants due to corona and less tourists, because of this the apartment has the perfect location.
The guestroom in their house is completely separated from the rooms where the family lives. This was great, as we are still in the pandemic. We felt totally secure in their casa.
Everything is super clean, the beds are very comfortable, and we've got a warm shower with enough waterpressure .We can definitely recommend Carmen and Carlos Casa and if we might come back to Havanna another time, we would love to stay there again.
Thanks a lot,

Carmen and Carlos are exceptionally personable, nice, open-minded people who welcome you as if you were a friend. The apartments are incredibly beautiful, very stylish, with a small balcony, large roof terrace and a wonderful salon. Everything is nice, clean and extremely cozy. The location is perfect. And whatever you ask, Carmen has a solution. All the best to you and good luck on your way forward! Andreas & Andrea Kuba (!!!)

Carmen and Carlos' house is simply beautiful! They've spent a lot of time and effort making sure that the house maintained it's authentic structure and design - spacious rooms, beautiful high ceilings and original furniture. The bathrooms are brand new, there is air conditioning, and I loved hanging out on the balcony at night watching people go by. Breakfast on the terrace is a great way to start the day.
Carmen and Carlos are wonderful hosts, very warm and ready to help with anything you need. A perfect way to start our time in Cuba! Thank you so much! :)
