We recently had the pleasure of staying four nights at Casa Randy in Havana and couldn't have asked for a more welcoming introduction to the city. From the moment we arrived, Fanny and her lovely family made us feel like part of their home. Warm, personable, and always happy to help, they provided exactly the kind of authentic, community-oriented experience we seek when travelling.
The room was clean and comfortable, complete with a mini-bar service and reliable Wi-Fi, which, by Havana standards, was a pleasant surprise. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious and varied breakfast on the rooftop terrace — the views over the colourful, character-rich neighbourhood were a highlight of our stay.
Fanny was not only a gracious host but also a brilliant conversationalist, engaging us on a range of topics. The entire family spoke excellent English, but Fanny gently encouraged us to practise our Spanish — a lovely and much-appreciated gesture.
Located close enough to Havana's main tourist sites, yet far enough to truly absorb the local rhythm, Casa Randy offers an affordable and sustainable base for travellers who value meaningful connections over mass tourism.
We promised to return within the next five years — that trip will mark our fifth visit to Cuba. And without a doubt, we'll be staying here again.

The house is very clean, big rooms with airco and good wifi. Nice view on the streets. Fanny and her mother are very friendly and help you with anything you need. A very good choice!

Meine ersten Nächte in Kuba habe ich im Haus von Fanny und ihrer Familie verbracht. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und würde sie jedem weiterempfehlen.
Beste Ausstattung, mit eigenem Bad, Ventilator, Klimaanlage, Zugang mit Balkon, TV, WiFi, (kleiner Safe wurde gerade angeschafft). Eine super Lage, zu Fuß ins Havana Vieja, zum Capitol und Malecón, ich hab mich dort sicher und Zuhause gefühlt.
Geweckt wurde ich vom krähenden Hahn in der Nachbarschaft, großzügiges und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück gab es auf der Dachterrasse.
Viele Tipps und Hinweise für meine Aufenthalt und lange Gespräche mit Fanny und Cristina. Es hat mir an nichts gefehlt!
Ich habe die Familie in mein Herz geschlossen und werde die Zeit niemals vergessen!
Lo mejor, muchas gracias y muchos saludos, Karolin <3February 2025
After staying with Fanny I feel like I have a bigger sister in Havana. I only stayed at her place for one night because I couldn't book more, but I liked it so much that I went back for breakfast just so I could spend more time there (plus, the breakfast was really good).
She has a lot of tips to give you and knows about local current events which is great.
When I go back to Havana I'll definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything!

Fantástica experiencia! Fanny y su mamá Cristina nos han hecho sentir como en casa. Nos han dado muchos consejos y recomendaciones para nuestra estadía en Cuba y fueron muy flexibles con nuestras solicitudes.
La casa está en una ubicación ideal para recorrer Habana Centro y la Habana Vieja. Las habitaciones y las zonas comunes son muy cómodas, amplias y limpias, el desayuno es exquisito y muy completo... pero lo mejor de lo mejor han sido ellas dos que nos han tratado con tanto cariño.
Altamente recomendable!Host reply
