    I had a fabulous stay with Gicela and family. The house is easy to find with the instructions. The room is very clean and comfortable. The location is convenient when you arrive by Viazul bus as the bus station is about 5min away. The family can even pick you up or drop you off at the airport for a small fee. Thanks for having me!

    Thank you for the hospitality, Gicela!
    The stay and breakfast were great.
    The location is perfect for those who plan to travel to other places in Cuba (the Viazul terminal is just 10 minutes away). The city center is a bit further away, but there are many wonderful buildings on the way, so it's not a boring walk. Or you can always use the bus.
    Gicela was very helpful and recommended great places in Havana.

    Спасибо за гостеприимство, Гисела!
    Проживание и завтрак были великолепны.
    Расположение дома идеально подходит для тех, кто планирует поехать в другие места Кубы (терминал Viazul находится всего в 10 минутах пешком). Центр города находится подальше, но по пути много замечательной архитектуры, так что прогулка не будет скучной. Впрочем, всегда можно воспользоваться автобусом.
    Гисела была очень любезна и порекомендовала отличные места в Гаване.

    We had a nice stay at Gicelas house. The room was tidy and clean. The breakfast was great and a lot. Gicela also prepared us a vegetarian dinner, also delicious. At our last morning we had to leave very early to get a bus. It was possible to walk to the bus terminal. Gicela packed us lunch to go, also with a great selfmade smoothie. We could also leave a bag in her house and take it back a few days later, what really helped us at our trip. Our little daughter enjoyed playing in the safe backyard in the shade. The communication was good, Gicela can give you good guidance. Also the conversations with her were very interesting and pleasant. She also took care for us, for example she gave us a bottle safe water when we arrived late our first day.

    Simply put, we were treated like family immediately.
    Gicela and her family are the best hosts you could imagine. You have to stay there for your trip to Havana. She is very knowledgeable about the country, the city, history and the culture if you want to broaden your knowledge of Cuban life. She is always available if you need anything, in person or via Whatsapp.
    The room and the house are very clean and have all the basics you would expect from any home, despite supply issues hitting the country. The extra breakfasts are prepared for guests at the requested time and are VERY filling, healthy and natural.
    As for the location, it's has easy access to a popular artery to easily get a taxi to popular destinations. You can also walk to several locations and good restaurants.
