    Yanepsi, took great care of us in a natural relaxed manner. Made us feel at home right away. She happens to be also the coolest woman in Havana.

    Ester and I are great fans!

    Yannis home is a wonderfull place. From here you can start to old and new Habana and Yanni stands allways helpfully to your side.
    She orgenized Salsalessons in a dancingscholl near by, she knows where we can have a good dinner, she prepaired a delicious breakfast. Furthermore she orgenized our next casa in Viniales and all transfers we needed.
    In this time we got a new friend and we will come back again. Many thanks for that amazing time we could shared with Yani in Habana.

    Staying at Yanepsy was great! It felt like home. She helped me to organize trips, taxis, etc. We went out together and had a lovely time.
    It is a save neighborhood and easy to walk to the city center (capitol).
    I wish you the best Yanepsy.
    Love, Julia .

    Honestly, it was the best experience we had (my wife and I) on staying with a family home. Yanepsy, is an extremely helpful person, with a noble heart, who assured us a stay full of positive energies.

    - Honestamente, fue la mejor experiencia que tuvimos (mi esposa y yo) en hospedaje en casa de una familia. Yanepsy, es una persona extremadamente servicial, de un corazón noble, que nos aseguró una estancia plena de energías positivas.

    Yany was the most amazing host anyone could ask for. From cooking us many delicious meals, to organising various activities and inviting us to a family party, we had so much fun staying in Casa Yany! We loved the company of Yany’s dog, Nina, who is super friendly and loves cuddles. The location is ideal and safe and within walking distance to Havana’s main attractions. We would highly recommend anybody visiting Havana, to stay at Casa Yany!
