Casa de Laura y Rodney

Had a lovely time staying at Laura and Rodney's place for 1 night. They are such a kind and warm couple who speak perfect English! They are both professionals who run a beautiful and well-kept property in central Havana. The bedroom was spacious and had aircon, the breakfast in the morning was lovely (fresh fruit, eggs, bread, cheeses, salami) and nothing was too much trouble for them. You ABSOLUTELY MUST stay here as they have so many perks (tips on where to get massages, the best restaurants to eat in, printout maps with guides on where to go during the day, tours available locally etc) and clearly put a lot of effort into making guests feel at home and have an enjoyable stay. We stayed in another homestay for 4 nights at the start of our trip to Havana as this place was not available. My advice? Don't stay anywhere else if this place is free!!! You will not regret it.

It was a pleasure to stay with Laura and Rodney!!! Both are very lovely persons who are very helpful and speak perfect English.

They had different Havana maps and tourguids for us which were very helpful. We used them all the time while we were there. They help us to decide what to do and see in Havana and teached us about the prices so we would not be played.

Also Laura organized us a daytrip to Vinales. We asked for a smaller group and that was no problem for her to manage. At the end, it was just my husband and me, as the other couple where not at the meeting point and didn’t came after 20 min of waiting. So it was perfect. Our tourgid was “Guilliermo”. So if you plan going to Vinales ask for him, he was amazing!!!!
His English was perfect and we could ask him all the questions we had and he loved answering all of them. (also his car was an old timer, which was kinda cool too).

Our trip through Cuba was planned with a car. But when we arrived we could not rent one, as they are very expensive if you haven’t booked one earlier (so for the record, if you plan to rent a car, book it before you arrive!)
As we had no car, Laura was very helpful with booking a Taxi Collectivo (taxis which you share with 4-7 people) from Havana to Trinidad and told us where and how we can book a bus from Cayo Coco back to Havana. And after all that, she also helped us to book another 2 nights in Havana with one of her friends!! Thank you again for that <3

Also Laura and Rodney offer breakfast, which you should really use, as it’s kinda hard to find breakfast at the streets. Both are very honest and you can ask them everything. And trust me, you will have some questions :D

Thank you both for everything. It was the best choice to stay with you guys!! We are so looking forward to meet you again 

We were a group pf 8 people staying 3 nights in this lovely Casa. All of us give it a 100 % recommendation: Lovely rooms with good beds and bright deco. Everything is provided for – up to an electrical adapter. Breakfast is great, and of course the location cannot be beat.
Sights, restaurants and banks – everything in easy walking distance.
However what makes this Casa especially outstanding is the hosting family. Laura and Rodney are absolutly adoring, speak good english and make the extra effort from the first contact to the good byes. Also I want to mention Rodneys mother in law, she helps wherever and I had some great chats with her – they all made me feel I have won new friends.

Den besonderen Charme dieser Casa, machen die jungen Gastgeber Laura und Rodney aus, sie sprechen nicht nur ausgezeichnet englisch, sondern sind vom Beginn der Buchung bis zum Ende der Reise total um jeden Gast bemüht.
Die Lage ist perfekt, man kann alles fussläufig erreichen. Die Zimmer sind sehr komfortabel, das Frühstück super!
100 % Empfehlung für diese Casa. Waren 3 Nächt 8 Personen und Jeder war zufrieden.

Our time spent in Havana in the home of Laura and Rodney was very special, from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and part of the Family. During our Travels in Cuba we stayed with many Families who also made us feel very welcome and happy in their home but this young couple certainly have the WOW factor and are very kind, nothing is too much trouble and is executed with warmth and enthusiasm whatever you ask for. The accomodation very clean and comfortable, breakfast excellent. One word "Perfect" Well done to you both.

We stayed with Ana Laura and Rodney for 4 nights in February 2019.
Immediately after ordering the stay we were contacted by Ana Laura in english asking, if they could help us in any way. We arrived in Cuba at midnight. She organized a taxi waiting for us at the airport, and at 3 am we were in Havana - Rodney received us with a smile and brought our luggage to our room.
In the morning we met Ana Laura. After the delicious breakfast she spent one full hour telling us about Havana and helping us making a good programme for our stay.
If we any question or problem they were always ready to help us - and always with a smile!!!
We can - so very much recommend a stay with Ana Laura and Rodney. We have had many stays abroad, but never like this one.
We can so very much recommend a stay with Ana Laura and Rodney!!!!
