We were disappointed to find that our intended host in May had a ‘technical problem with the water supply’ and so had to pass us on to another casa. Thankfully this did not take us by surprise as one of the more recent reviews indicated they had ended up in another casa as well.

We really enjoyed ourselves here in May. Arrangements were clear from being met on arrival, organising a taxi trip for a 2 hour walk around Parc el Cubano Waterfalls and a collectivo for our onward trip to Varadero. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a door leading out onto a terrace area with tables and rocking chairs. Very easy to relax here. Casa was about 10 minute walk from the main square. Walking back at night felt safe. Very friendly host family; even offered us beer to join in the celebration of their Aunt’s birthday.

We were made to feel very welcome by Orquidea for our short stay in May. Really enjoyed being able to have a few cold beers and sit out on the roof of the house looking out at the views. Very pleased to have accepted Orquidea’s offer of a cooked meal one evening. Very helpful in organising our onward collective to Cienfuegos

We really appreciated how genuinely friendly and helpful Laura was. Her excellent English and enthusiasm for Cuba helped us get the most out of our three days in Havana. The apartment made us feel we were part of Havana and the location was perfect, especially for Old Havana. Laura's warmth made it hard to say goodbye! Totally recommend staying with Laura and Rodney.
