Casa Bellavista Havana is a top floor apartment (penthouse) in a 9 stories building, with the best view of the city, located next to the mouth of the Almendares River, overlooking the Havana´s seafront, the Malecon and the modern city. It is located at Miramar, next to Vedado, near some of the most important cultural centers like Fabrica de Arte, Casa de la Musica Miramar and Jardines del 1830, and some of the best city's restaurants like Amigos del Mar, Nero Di Seppia, Bodega Blanca, 7 Dias, El Cocinero, and El Aljibe. It is located near some Embassies at an area where to walk around is a pleasure. From our place you can enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and see the always glowing lights of the city. Our place has full acces to Internet with wifi connection and a lot of privacy. My family is very short, besides me, only my wife, who are here to help you. I have maid service and the apartment is very clean, which will make you feel very much at home. We work mainly here but we are involved in some other projects as well. We have friends, mainly musicians. We can offer a light breakfast to our guests (not included in the price). We comply with all the regulations and keep our place safe from the COVID-19. Prices are calculated based on the exchange rate of the informal market, but payments in another currencies (USD, Euros) are accepted.

About the Area
The area is very safe and quiet, no presence of hustlers who can bother you. It is very easy to take a transportation to Old Havana taking a kind of taxis we call "boteros" and "gacelas", which can drive you to downtown. But the area itself is very interesting with so many attractions, restaurants and cultural centers near by
