Experiencia de 10.
Sin duda si volvemos a La Habana repetiríamos nuestra estancia en casa de Jorge y Narri.
La ubicación es muy buena y tanto la habitación como el baño están muy limpios y cuidados, pero sin duda, lo que mas nos ha gustado de este alojamiento han sido sus anfitriones y poder compartir buenas charlas durante el desayuno y ratos libres. En cuanto al desayuno muy completo y variado, la fruta y el jugo que sirven a diario están buenísimos. No podríamos haber encontrado un alojamiento mejor en La Habana, recomendable 100%.Host reply
Agradezcemos que hayan llegado a casa, fue una experiencia muy bonita y alentadora, disfrutamos de cada momento de conversación y cada risa que tuvimos, si!! se creo un ambiente especial.
Nuevamente gracias por compartir su tiempio con nosotros, los recomiendo a otros anfitriones 100%
un abrazo lleno de afectos y deseos de verles nuevamente por casa.

Jorge and his family were so lovely, always on hand to give us advice and listen to our experiences. We were given enough privacy in our own room, which was cleaned daily, and were always warmly greeted by whoever was in the living area. We felt safe and well taken care of.
The casa is located one block from the beautiful university, a couple of blocks from the Napoleon Museum (worth a visit!) and about 15 minutes walk to the main bus station. The walk to Old Havana was about 30 mins, but it was an interesting walk through the city or you can also choose to walk along the Malecon. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here.Host reply
Es increible!! han pasado un buen tiempo de su estancia en casa y aun sentimos su estancia, gracias por su opinión y por llegar a casa junto a nuestra familia, les abrazamos con efectos

Muy, muy contentos con la estancia en esta casa, nos gustó mucho poder hablar con vosotros y conocer Cuba desde otro punto de vista. Fueron unos anfitriones magníficos, con detalles que no esperábamos encontrar, con una casa muy acogedora, compartieron su hogar y nos sentimos en el nuestro.
Muchas gracias por todo.Host reply
Para nosotros fue muy bueno compartir el día a día con ustedes, les agradecemos las largas conversaciones y su tiempo.

It was GREAT to stay with Jorge and family, they are so kind and sweet and fun. We really felt at home there. We met other lovely people while there too. I would recommend! It's a 30 min walk to Parque Central, right next to the University and the neighbourhood is lovely.

Die ganze Familie war wundervoll freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. So unterschiedlich meine Anliegen waren, ich habe immer sehr sachdienliche Antworten bekommen. Das Haus ist sauber, ordentlich, hat stilvolle, koloniale Architektur und ist in direkter Nähe der geschichtsträchtigen alten Universität. Ich habe ein Zuhause in Habanna gefunden.
Jorge y toda la familia y toda la gente que trabajan en casa serendipia fueron muy amable. Disfruto esta lugar mucho. Limpia, linda, rico café, cerca del interés universidad, muy buena calle. Pero el mejor es la familia. La conversaciones y los recomendaciónes y la ayuda con todo la cosas fueron perfecto. Es mi casa en Havanna.
