We stayed for four nights at the casa of Marlene and Rafael. They are lovely people: very reliable , friendly and helpful. Marlene also speaks English. The room was spottlesly clean and everything just as promised (which was not the case with some other places we stayed at in Cuba). Good beds and good sleeping quality. The location by Plaza Vieja, in the heart of the historic center, is absolutely fantastic. You can enjoy the fresh breakfast, prepared by the host family, on your own French balcony with a splendid view over the whole square. You can watch school children play at the plaza in the mornings, and listen to bands playing Cuban rhythms at the restaurants and cafes in the evenings. We can warmly recommend this casa, and want to thank once more our great host family for everything.
