We highly recommend this casa. We stayed here 4 nights in july 2018. Lilu and her family are the sweetest and nicest persons you can imagine. Lilu is 100% like a caring and lovely grandmother. You will feel as a part of the family right away upon arriving to the casa. If we could we would have rated it 6 hearts and not just 5. Location is perfect in the heart of Old Havana just 5 minutes of walking from Obispo and with a nice view to the Capitolio building from the balcony. Lilu and her son who runs the casa daily does not speak a word english, but her daughter does and she is there everyday except when she is away for work. So you can talk to her when you need advice or information. But even when her daugther was out, we somehow managed to understand each other by signs and gestures even though we did not understand each others languages. The room you get is spacious and very clean. It has a well working aircondition and a refrigerator. The private bathroom is also large and clean. The included light breakfast is nice. You get bread, butter, coffee, milk and a daily suprise which could be fried banana slices, fried sweet potatoes or others. When eating you sit in the middle of their living room which is really nice. If you want to experience the real Havana life this is the right place to be. We lost our luggage from UK to Cuba. Lilu helped is calling the airport every day and she even gave the airport guy and earful on our behalf:-) Due to this only had limited clothes to wear so she offered us to wash and dry our clothes as a gesture (free of charge) But we did not want to bother her, so we handwashed it in the bathroom zink. But she insisted on helping us, so she dried it on a clothesline for us, folded it and placed it on our beds so it was ready for next day excursions. Lilu is so sweet and caring :-) You should really try to stay here. This is real Cuba. Just be aware of one thing. The apartment is located on 2nd. floor and only a small steep staircase leads up to the apartment. So if you have difficulty walking up stairs then you should not chose this place.

We stayed here 2 nights in July 2018. This casa is located right in the heart of Santa Clara. Walk 300-400 metres and you are on the main square of Santa Clara. It is possible to walk to the main attractions from the casa. We could see Che Guevara Mausoleum/memorial, Tren Blindado and the Viewpoint by walking in just 7 hours. The room we had here was clean and nice. Javier is extremely nice and helpful. He acts like a caring father all the time. That is so nice:-) We recommend this casa to everyone. If you try his full breakfast you get a lot of nice food including fresh fruit, eggs as you want, loads of bread, tee and/or coffee and much more. There are two issues though: There is no refrigerator in the room which could be nice. But there is a refrigerator in the public area which you can use so you will certainly survive:-) Homestay.com claims that a daily light breakfast is included. That is not the case. When asking, Javier replied that there is no breakfast included.

We stayed here 2 nights in July 2018. This casa is located right in the heart of Cienfuegos. Walk 200 metres and you are on the boulevard of Cienfuegos close to Malecon and the historical center. The room we had here was very clean and nice. Diana and Julio Cesar and their family is very nice and helpful. We highly recommend this place. The light breakfast includes coffee, Milk, bread and butter. If you upgrade the light breakfast to a full breakfast you get a lot of nice food including fresh fruit, eggs as you want, a kind of pancakes and much more. I recommend you to try this. There are one issue though. There is no refrigerator in the room which is a bit of a problem when you come back after a long hot excursion day, and the only thing you dream of is something icecold to drink.

We stayed here 3 nights in July 2018. This casa is located right in the heart of Trinidad. Walk 200 metres and you are in the middle of the historical Trinidad. The room we had here was the cleanest, newest, nicest and most up to date we had during our roundtrip in Cuba. The bathroom is also of a very high standard. The aircon works perfect and there is a refrigerator in the room. Masleidy and here family is very nice and helpful. We highly recommend this place. Only one minor is issue is that Homestay.com claims that a daily light breakfast is included. That is not the case. It is only included the first morning.
