Nous avons passé un exercent séjour chez notre hôte qui a été à nos petits soins durant toute notre présence, et même plus. Iliana est une personne comme l on aimerait en rencontrer plus souvent. Ne cherchez pas plus loin, faites une halte chez elle. Vous ne le regretterez pas.

My friend and I had a very good stay at the casa of Maria. The house was very clean and nice situated at the old square. The owner Maria and the host Iliana were very helpfull and symphatic. Eliana even cooked us a meal when we arrived during the tornado. The only disadvantage is that the place can be very noisy because of a waterpump working in the night and a restaurant next to the casa.

Thanks Mirjam and it was a pleasure to receive you in our place.

Wir waren das 4. Mal in Kuba, daher wußte ich das dieses Zimmer einfach ideal ist um Alt Havanna zu sehen. Plaza Vieja (alter Platz) ist besonders abends bezaubernd wenn die Musiker ihre Salsa und Merenge Rhythmen spielen. Das Zimmer ist zweckmäßig und sauber. Die Gastgeberin Iliana immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie kann leider nur spanisch aber mit Hilfe von Maria und dem Personal von der italienischen Eisdiele, die direkt davor ist, klappt alles. Abschließend kann man diesen Ort nur empfehlen wenn man mit Kubanern und dem richtigen Kuba kontakt haben will. Nicht wie in Varadero, der Ort den die meisten Touristen in einem All inclusive Hotel kennen lernen. Wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen.

We arrived late and left very early the following morning, so it is hard to give a comprehensive review but we were right off Plaza Vieja which is a great place and very central. The room was very comfortable and the host very friendly and helpful. Maria sorted out a taxi from the airport and our onward journey to the Vizual bus centre which was great of her. We recommend.

Thank you Roger for your review and what a pleasure you felt well.
