The house is very well placed and the room have an amazing view on the Malecon. However, after two weeks in Cuba we found the breakfast a little bit small compare to what we had on other Casa particulares. Apart from that it was a pleasant stay and we recommend this room.

Oh my! We had a such wonderful stay with Amarilis and her family. What generous and gracious hosts. The home is perfectly located to explore Havana and the view from the balcony of the Malecon and the sea is the best way to begin and end your day. The home is immaculate and the breakfast is tasty and plentiful. On our last morning, my teenage son wanted to go about Havana and take pictures. Amarilis got a reasonably priced taxi for him and off he went to explore the city through the eye of his camera lens for a couple hours. It is this sort of individualized care and attention that distinguishes your time at Doors to Heaven. But the best part of our homestay was simply feeling like part of the family. The conversation was was rich and full of laughter. We made new friends. And we look forward to coming back and staying with "our Cuban family" again.

Room with the best view in Havana !! The place was quite big, clean and comfortable. Eber and the family were so hospitable and friendly. They even organised a taxi for me to the airport very early in the morning. I will stay again if I come back. Highly recommended.

Beds were rough but she took care of the taxi to the airport which was great. The view the next morning was one you don't want to miss.

We had such a wonderful time in Havana and in large part due to this wonderful family. We were given so much help that we felt like we had booked our own personal guide to Havana. The breakfast and coffee is amazing, we were given excellent recommendations and even a walking tour by Amarilis’s son. He took us to all the tourist hotspots, booked us in at the Buena Vista show and helped us buy cigars. Everything was perfect! The room was cleaned daily and any communication barriers were mended with google translate, laughter and some justiculating (of which there were few moments where we weren’t understood!) the sea view is second to none and we felt safe walking home late at night (especially after exploring with a local on our first day!) Thankyou so much! We’ll definitely come back! George and Zoe
