I stayed at William and Orquieda's casa for a week while I was in Havana again for a Cuban dance festival. From the moment I arrived, where they were standing outside waiting for me as I pulled up in the airport cab, they made me feel so welcome. ***FOOD*** We ate a homemade dinner together that first night (a welcome gift) and Orquieda's cooking is 10/10. I always looked forward to the plentiful and varied breakfast in the morning - fresh fruit, bread, guyaba jam, eggs and some meat, cuban style coffee. I often couldn't finish the fruits so Orquieda would kindly put them in a lunchbox for me to take to my dance practice. ***PEOPLE*** They are both such lovely people who are always happy to help or chat about life - Orquieda only speaks Spanish which was a great opportunity for me to practice. She was very patient with my ability! I also met their son Nelson, who made all the gorgeous paintings in their casa. ***ROOM*** I selected the triple room, which was in great condition and a great retreat from the hot Cuban weather. Every other day I'd come back and see that the bed is made and the bin cleared - after a long day of dancing, this was a super apprecieated level of hospitality! ***LOCATION*** This casa is on San Miguel street, which is a great base to have as it is a short walk away from the Capitolio and the Malecon. Immediately when you step out the building, you meet the bustling life in Havana. A local shopping mall is nearby to buy any amenities, and a number of places for lunch/dinner. You will not be disappointed staying here if you're in Havana!
