Were cozy and clean and private place, great location right next to the El Capitolio. Great local restaurant next block and many more 5 min away. I needed an extra day but the casa was fully booked so Odalys and Louis find me a room across the street in 2minutes. I recommend the place!!
oh yeah and plenty of hot water for shower! ! !January 2018
The host cancelled the booking 70 days before the arrival date.

The stay with Odalys was great, the room was very clean and safe. The location is just great with two blocks from the Capitolio and all other major locations within walking distance. We had a great stay and I would recommend a stay at Odalys place for your trip to Havana!

My friends and I stayed at Odalys' house for only a night. She and her husband were there to greet us when we arrived. The AC was nice and cool (It was like 90 degrees with 77% humidity). The house was clean. Sheets were washed and we enjoyed street views from the balconies.
This 3bed/3bath house is vacant and each room is rented individually. So, if you are looking to stay with someone who actually lives there, then this is not the house for you. Also, we made sure to rent all 3 bedrooms so that we didn't share the house with anyone else. It was 6 of us girls (2 in each room). It worked out perfect. You have a small kitchen, living room, balconies and bedrooms with bathrooms. The house is also 2 blocks behind the Capitolio and La Plaza Central. So you are a 5 minute walk to beautiful views and old classic car rentals.
We had a wonderful time and are already planning our return.
Thank you for everything Odalys (& husband) !!
Saludos,
Mayra
