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.

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

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.

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!
