I love this little place! And Jorge and his lovely wife Nardy are so amazing and are the cutest couple. I miss them already! Great location, cozy house and nice breakfast. Most importantly, beautiful host and hostess. Such wonderful people that make you feel welcomed and at home, and they have a great sense of humour as well. Just overall an awesome experience here. The room is clean and comfortable, breakfast (pay extra) is plenty, yummy and fresh, and the location is pretty central (35 minute walk to old Havana but there are plenty of restaurants around - try the limonada fresca at El Biky - and the university is right there). I definitely recommend this place and will come here again the next time I go to Havana! Gracias por todo, Jorge y Nardy!

Tuve el placer de estar en esta casa linda durante los primeros 4 días de mi viaje. Jorge y su mujer son tan simpáticos, ayudan con todo (me dieron buenos consejos haha), me encantaron las conservaciones durante el desayuno (que era muy rico!). Cuando llegué ya era muy tarde y eso no fue ningún problema: siempre hay alguien en la casa para atender a los huéspedes. Muchas gracias por todo, me he sentido muy bienvenida!!

I had the good fortune to spend several days with Jorge and Nadia in their lovely home. It is a quiet location with easy access to Old Havana and other parts of the city. They know the city well and were so kind and helpful in making my trip something I will always hold dear. The only downside was having to leave!

Nuestra familia le da las gracias a Susan por su tiempo y generosidad

Pasamos unos bonitos días juntos en casa, fue interesante saber que antes habían estado en Cuba en hoteles y esta su primera vez en casa con familia lo que hizo conocer la Cuba de los locales.
Un abrazo agradecido por llegar a casa,
Jorge y FamiliaMarch 2019
I had the pleasure of staying with Jorge and his family for 2 and a half weeks. My first solo travel accommodation and Nadia was there to greet me with a great big hug at breakfast. We laughed despite the language barrier and she really made me feel at ease. The whole of Jorge and his family were more than willing to help out where they could. From being incredibly patient when I was working on my Spanish, prometo que practicaré! To even finding nearby accommodation for a recent friend I made in Cuba, returning to Havana early with nowhere to stay. The hospitality is second to none, thank you!

Fue interesante compartir esos días con Annete, joven llena de dudas y deseos de comerse el mundo.
Mi esposa Nardy siempre en los desayunos compartia buenas conversaciones mientras yo estaba por el mercado en el día a día.
Gracias por llegar a nuestra casa, ya nos veremos nuevamente,
Jorge y FamiliaFebruary 2019
Mi estancia en esta casa ha sido una bonita experiencia de mis vacaciones en La Habana. Tanto Jorge como su esposa han sido buenos anfitriones. Me mostraron su hospitalidad y amabilidad. La casa estaba limpia y ordenada, así también mi habitación. La casa está bien situada en una zona tranquila desde donde se puede visitar -y recomiendo- a pie muchos puntos de la ciudad. Sin duda recomendaría hospedarse aquí si alguien quiere conocer lo que es la calidez y hospitalidad de los cubanos, además que te ayudan y recomiendan en todo lo que pueden.
