We had a very good time in Havanna and in the casa of Iris. It is just around the corner of the University. Iris and Lourdes (?) were very helpful and are very sweet women. Vedado is quite a long walk from the „old“ city centre, that is the only thing I would think about before booking. But you can always take a Taxi at night. The room was nice, clean and the breakfast (5 CUC) was great! We had breakfast and even a delicious dinner one night on the beautiful terrace upstairs. I can recommend this place to stay. Iris also arranged a casa in Vinales for us. Many thanks again and all the best for you! Bettina & Janine

Ariel, his mother and I think sister in law were very welcoming and helped us in any way possible (find our way within Cienfuegos, organize a tour to El Nicho). The room was big (also the bathroom) and clean. The breakfast was great as well. The casa is in very good walking distance to either the Malacon or the small city centre. Ariel and his family even organized a casa in Trinidad for us, which was our next stop. The casa (Hostal Greisa / Trinidad) was an excellent recommendation. Many thanks to Ariel and his mother and the rest of the family! Bettina & Janine
