I had a wonderful stay at merlyn's place. she and her family are very helpful. The houses are very clean, very comfortable, there is hot water 24 hours a day. The terrace is great. On the day I was going to Santa Clara, he got up early and prepared a sandwich. She found a taxi. her son Kevin is so sweet. It is the best and comfortable house for stay in Trinidad. Thank you so much for everything. MERLYN is the BEST :)

Amazing casa, amazing and friendly hosts! Best possible location in Trinidad, everything is walking distance and very close to nice bars and restaurants. We spent 3 nights here and will do it again when we come back to Cuba Delicious breakfast and very clean house! Merlyn is so amazing and fun girl, we would just love to spend more days at her casa. Her husband is an excellent local guide, without knowing spanish, we had great time going around with him. And little Kevin crrates special athmosphere with his joy and happines.
Cuban people deserve better life, real freedom and better economy. And something has to change very soon in this beautiful country. We'll be back in 10 years and we want to see this amazing family and casa again.
Dear Merlyn, keep on doing a good job! Cuba needs these kind of people ❤️ A big kiss to Kevin!
