Located in San Lázaro Street, parallel to the Havana Malecón and its beautiful sea, in Centro Habana, it is close to both Old Havana, with its museums, squares, churches, restaurants and beautiful places, as well as Vedado, the modern part of the city where theaters, clubs, cabarets, restaurants invite you to spend a beautiful night.
The house is spacious, comfortable, with high ceilings and wide doors and windows through which natural light penetrates. Rooms with air conditioning and minibar provide for a good night's rest after an intense day. A balcony overlooking San Lázaro street allows you to observe the life of the city, while a terrace overlooks the Callejón de Hamell, famous for the rumba that vibrates alive forever. We are always at your disposal to help you have the happy stay you have always dreamed of.

Nuestras dos primeras noches en Cuba las pasamos en casa de Odalys en La Habana. Nos ayudó tanto que siempre guardaremos buen recuerdo de ella y su familia. La ubicación de la casa está fenomenal justo en el callejón Hamel. Nos gestionó los taxis que necesitamos.

I stayed with Odalys when I first arrived in Havana. I was travelling on my own, but Odalys let me felt welcome the second I met her. She arranged some food and some for me as I was arriving late. She also arranged something with her neighbor to change money. She doesnt speak English, but her son in law does! However she does try to communicate with you. Absolutely loved it to stay with her!!

I had the best stay at this Casa Particular! Odalys treated me like family, gave me suggestions for things to see in Havana, and even took me out on the second night. I am very grateful to have found this home, I will be back! Such a beautiful family and the room was very cosy & comfortable!

Marlene y yo pasamos las primeras dos noches en Odalys casa. Seguimos sin ningún tipo de preparación a Cuba. Odalys y su familia nos recibieron cálidamente por la noche. Desde el principio nos sentimos bien y en buenas manos. El apartamento grande está muy limpio y bien decorado. Odalys nos ha dado recomendaciones muy útiles para nuestras incursiones en Cuba y también nos ha enviado a otras Casas. Odalys es simplemente una persona maravillosa y estábamos muy agradecidos de poder quedarnos con ella. Ella tiene un gran corazón y es una gran persona. Esperamos verte pronto, querida Odalys.
Hasta luego,

I really enjoyed my stay with Odalys in Centro Habana. The accommodation is located right behind Callejon de Hamel (where you will find exciting rumba performances on Sundays) and close to the Malecón. The old city center of Havana is no walking distance, but Odalys recommended me to take the bus for only 1 peso nacional. That's no money!
Odalys is very sweet. She gave me a lot of advice, which I really appreciate. In Cuba, I experienced some hosts who are not honest and only focused on money, but Odalys is definitely not one of them! I felt very at ease with her, her husband and daughter.February 2019
Wonderful big room with high ceilings and 2 beds in center Havana. It is clean and air-conditioned. Bathroom is shared with the guests of the other room, but no issue at all. Located close to La Rampa in Vedado and for young people easy to walk to Havana vieja. Odalys and Carlos are very very nice and helpful with activities and transport. I even went out with Odalys to La Gato Tuerto, a bar with a performance of Cuban opera singers. It was really a lovely stay.

Odalys y su familia fueron un encanto. La casa es muy bella y bien ubicada, con conexiones a casco histórico, comercio, vida nocturna, etc; todo caminable. El lugar es seguro, cerca del malecón, Vedado, cadecas, plazas wifi. La habitación impecable, amplia y muy limpia, cómoda y silenciosa, el desayuno abundante y muy rico.
Compartir con Odalys y su familia fue muy agradable, son personas muy acogedoras, preocupadas y fue muy interesante conversar con ellos, de todos los temas; aprendimos mucho de Cuba, nos dieron muchos buenos datos y nos cuidaron a lo largo de todo nuestro viaje por el país.
Los recomendamos 100%, y quedamos con ganas de volver!

Odalys and her family are lovely people, we really enjoyed our stay at their home. The apartment is very well located, at walking distance to the historic centre, Vedado, the malecón, shops, wifi points, places to eat and to go out at night.
The room was very comfortable, clean, wide and quiet, the breakfast was abundant and delicious.
Odalys and her family were caring, very interesting people to talk to, we learned a lot of different things about Cuba from them.
We totally recommend their home, and would definitely go back there!Host reply
