Due to the effects of COVID, the use of the common areas of the house is temporarily restricted, please excuse us for any inconvenience this may cause.
House with 5 rooms located at a midpoint between Vedado and Old Havana, very close to the Plaza de la Revolución. Each room has air conditioning, hot and cold water, double bed and bathroom. We also have a very nice and cozy roof terrace, with plants. Every morning you can have breakfast accompanied by a delicious Cuban coffee (it goes on the house). We also have car care service and pick up and return from the airport if necessary. In addition to Spanish, English, French and a little Italian are spoken.
Our place it's located in a very quiet neighborhood built in the 20's. The house it's located upstairs and it has 5 rooms. On the roof top there is a terrace with plants which is ideal to sit and relax. We can always offer quietness and peace. We love to give you a Cuban coffee in the morning and chat to help you organize your day, and optimize your stay; there are a lot to see and to do so it's better if you get a plan.
We are located in the center of Havana, so to get anywhere in the city it's very easy. We are very close to two major avenues where you cant take a taxi or a bus wherever you need, mainly to Habana Vieja or Vedado. In the opposite corner of our block it's the Central Bus Station, where you can buy a ticket to the rest of the country by ViAzul bus company. Two minutes from here it's the iconic Revolution Square, a very wide space from the 50's where you can see the Che Guevara sculpture, and go up in the tower and view the hole city by the gazebo.
Our rooms are comfortable and silent, there are air-conditioning, minibar, TV, a wide window and a bathroom ensuite. We name and identify each one by color: orange, green, blue, red and gray, all living colors that match our climate, but still suitable for resting. The bed it's king size, best for couples, but if you need it we can slipt them and create two king size beds. We welcome everyone on the basis of respect and love. We speak English, French and a little bit of Italian.

    La stanza aveva una vista su ...un muro, l'atteggiamento di José molto freddo e distaccato, la posizione non particolarmente comoda

    Queremos dejar puntualizado q los huéspedes no pueden recibir menores de edad al no ser q estén acompañándose por sus padres y la llave solo se les entrega la de la habitación, tenemos personal las 24 horas en la casa que entre otras actividades están pendientes para la entrada a la casa por parte de los huéspedes

    Absolutely beautiful, quiet and sparkling clean house in Plaza. I only stayed overnight as I was coming from Varadero by bus to catch a flight in Havana. The location is great if you need to use the Central Bus station serving Viazul bus company. Room was spacious, modern decor, AC, mini-fridge and TV. Bathroom was clean, great shower, very functional. It would've been helpful for me to have a front door key along with my room key to leave or enter the house without having to either ask the host to let me out, or ring the doorbell or making a cellphone call to the host to let me back in.
    Perhaps other guests got one, but because of my short stay they didn't think it was necessary. Anyway, clean cozy place. Definitely recommended.

    Gracias por tu comentario sincero y certero. Tiene razón, tener la llave hubiese sido más cómodo, pero nuestra experiencia nos ha mostrado que los clientes que se alojan en estadías cortas no quieren pagar el depósito de las llaves y en 2 ocasiones las han perdido y hemos tenido que remplazar todas las cerraduras y ha costado más que lo ganado en la reserva. No obstante, tenemos en cuenta su sugerencia y buscaremos al forma de hacer mas llevadera la estancia en nuestra casa.
    Saludos
    José

    Jose is an excellent host. This was my second stay in Casa Jose. I honestly don't see myself staying anywhere else. Jose make me feel like a family member. And his dog Toby is so smart and sweet. I can go on and on with the virtues of Casa Jose and its people and I feel still fall short.
    I love this place. Clean, quiet and safe. Great are near the Plaza de la revolución and the opni bus estación.

    We were a party of 6 adults and 2 children and stayed in Havana at Jose's casa particulare with Jose and his lovely family. We loved Cuba, especially Havana and Jose with his wonderful hospitality, warmth and caring made this such a wonderful experience for all of us. He has a lovely home, is so hospitable and couldn't do enough for us, always with a big smile on his face - honest and genuine people. He always went the extra mile e.g. snacks on New Years Eve, special extras for breakfast such as rice and beans, scrambled eggs and even made a meal for the children one evening when we were going out to Tropicana. Lovely people to spend time with discussing the uniqueness and fascination that is Cuba. We all agreed we want to return and would only stay with Jose. Jose and his family rock - missing you already.

    Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühl bei den sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgebern. Das Zimmer war prima, das Frühstück köstlich. In unseren drei Wochen Rundreise auf Kuba haben wir hier den besten Kaffee bekommen! Sehr zu empfehlen :)
    Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße aus Alemania (Berlin) von Marvin und Sophie
