We stayed in 4 different casas during out trip to Cuba and this was our favourite one. A very comfortable, clean and peaceful home in a great location. Jorge and Nardy were so kind and helpful, and we had many fun conversations together with the help of google translate. We didn't eat there, but had coffee every morning. They had lots of bottled water available which we appreciated, and exchanged money for us as well. Jorge was very easy to contact and there was always someone available if we needed anything or had questions. Wifi is very limited in Cuba, so it is not available in the house all the time but when it was available it worked really well. I would highly recommend this home if you plan on visiting Cuba.

My stay with Jorge and Nardy was incredible. Throughout my time there I felt at home and they enabled me to make the most out of my time in Havana. They were able to help make recommendations, arrange my trip from the airport, and also prepare a wonderful breakfast for me during my stay. Even when I slipped and hurt myself while I was out adventuring, Jorge and Nardy were ready to get me help! While I was there we had some amazing conversations that I will always cherish and remember. I was able to learn so much from them and am so grateful to have had them as hosts. Besides how friendly and welcoming they are, their accommodations are quite good and they put in such a commendable effort to make sure that is the case. I believe that helped create a comfortable and amicable atmosphere amongst all of the guests and made all of our stays that much better. I hope to return some day soon and would absolutely recommend them to anybody!

Increíble experiencia en casa de Jorge y Nardy. Han sido encantadores con nosotros. La comunicación fue perfecta antes de la llegada, organizándonos el traslado del aeropuerto a su casa. A la llegada nos explico todo lo necesario para movernos por la habana y nos aconsejo los mejores sitios y mas económicos para comer.
La casa y la habitacion estaban impecables y tanto ellos como pavel, estuvieron siempre a nuestra disposición. El barrio es tranquilo y esta cerca del centro andando.
El desayuno que nos prepararon estaba muy rico. Y no podemos dejar de mencionar las conversaciones con Jorge que fueron un placer.
100% Recomendable. Los mejores anfitriones que hemos tenido en cuba. Esperamos volver
Muchas gracias por todoHost reply

Nuestra estancia en la casa de Jorge fue muy agradable. Jorge, Josué y Pável se portaron genial con nosotras y nos trataron de lujo.
La casa estaba bien situada, fuera de la zona turística y en una zona totalmente segura, con lo que puedes callejear y ver la auténtica Habana. Nos consiguieron transporte y nos dieron buenas recomendaciones. Los desayunos estaban genial. La habitación era espaciosa, con aire acondicionado.
En cualquier momento podías contactar con ellos por si tenías alguna duda/problema durante la estancia ya que estaban siempre dispuestos. Sin duda, acertamos con la elección!!Host reply

tuvimos un paso fugaz por esa casita. el vuelo llego tarde y nos privó de pasar mas rato con los anfitriones.
llegamos tardisimo, el calor era sofocante... el retraso el vuelo nos llevó enfadados, pero alli nos mimaron, nos acogieron con una sonrisa, ofreciendonos todo ( jajaja hasta su tabaco para calmar mis nervios).
nos gestionaron un traslado del equipaje que habiamos dejado en su hoga,r para que fuera llevado a casa de un conocido al dia siguiente, de forma barata y rapidisima.
fue nuestro primer contacto con la gente de cuba, y casi se convierten en alguien mas de la familia..
en cuanto a la habitación, estaba impecable. bonita casa de techos altos. una calle poco concurrida y con un amanecer placentero.
aire acondicionado (el mejor de todos los alojamientos donde estuvimos en 14 dias). y un desayuno maravilloso por dos pesetas.gracias por hacer bonito aquellos momentos.
