Maria Mercedes è gentile, disponibile a qualsiasi richiesta , la stanza è in un'ttima posizione .
la consiglio . grazieDecember 2017
Chambre très propre - agréable - Accueil moyen - pas de possibilité de petit déjeuner sur place. Ne pas se fier à ce qui est écrit sur Homestay : il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner de base dans aucune chambre d'hotes durant nos 10 jours à cuba

Muchas Gracias por su opinión. María Mercedes
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
