The landlords, Daniel and Erwann, live in this colonial style house with large mahogany doors, 5 meter high ceilings, original tile floors and a nice array of ancient furniture and chandeliers. They rent five bedrooms, each of them with air conditioning and a private bathroom.
The guests are more than welcome to enjoy the main living room with its balcony overlooking San Rafael street, the inner patio as well as the rooftop from where one can see the sea.
Although it is located in a quiet area it is in the city centre, only 5 minutes away from the Malecon, 10 minutes from the Vedado district and the Hotel Nacional and 15 minutes from the Parque Central and the Old Havana.
While visiting Cuba don’t miss the Museo de Arte Cubano, the charming district of the Loma del Angel, the house of Hemingway and the beaches of Playas de l’Este. Viñales and its « Mogotes » valley is also a must and could be a full day excursion.

L'accueil d'Erwann et de Daniel a été chaleureux, attentif et plein de bienveillance.
On se sent bien avec eux et dans leur belle maison aménagée avec goût.
Les petits déjeuners sont exceptionnels, colorés et délicieux.
Enfin, leurs conseils pour appréhender la Havane sont judicieux et leurs aides précieuses.
Une adresse à recommander+++May 2018
Our stay with Daniel and Erwann was excellent! The welcome mojito was the best one we had during our entire trip and the breakfasts were equally delicious. The casa location was perfect, we could walk to all of the different neighborhoods. Daniel and Erwann were so friendly and welcoming I couldn’t recommend staying with them more!

Hospedagem incrível, tudo muito limpo, confortável e feito com muito carinho! Lugar bem localizado! Café da manhã delicioso! Mas o melhor são os anfitriões! Voltamos apaixonadas por eles, pessoas cultas, lindas e simpáticas, como todo o povo Cubano. Muito amor por Cuba!
