We (a young couple) stayed in 7 casas during our two weeks in Cuba. We stayed with Yusi's family for 2 nights. They really are so nice. They live in a very charming street close to the Viazul busstop and the main square. We were welcomed with juice and a nice chat. The room is spacious and good. Bathroom also nice (only missing a toiletseat). They helped us arrange a really good not touristy walking tour for the next day. Yusi speaks English a bit, but good enough to talk and understand each other. Her little girl Lucia is so cute welcoming us every time we came back to the house enthusiastically. The neighbours scream to each other at any time a day, so bring earplugs. Cuba is never quiet we experienced. Apart from some neighbours, this was the most quiet casa we stayed in. We had some issues finding the right casa, but just look for the Orestes & Yusi sign!

We (a young couple) stayed in 7 casas during our two weeks in Cuba. We stayed with Onel and his son for 4 nights. The location is excellent, as it is both walking distance to the old and newer part of Havana. Onel is really friendly and could tell a lot about life in Cuba (in Spanish only, but somehow possible to follow even though I don't speak Spanish). The first night Russian guests in the room next to us were a bit noisy, but they left and the other nights were better. It never is really quiet wherever you are in Cuba. Just bring earplugs. Breakfast was included and good. The room is located at the back and a bit dark with no view. The showerhead couldn't be held on the wall when we stayed there, but apart from that great place to stay.
