Nice clean room, nice clean shared WCs and showers, very nice large garden all around, large kitchen, with everything but a microwave. 15 minutes walk to the market and another 20 on to the center. Perfect if you have your transport, there are also not frequent minibuses and troleibuses 7 minutes away. Best Wifi I have seen in Abkhazia.

Joaquin’s homestay was good. The room is good, with aircom, safe, own toilet and shower, fridge, flat screen TV; free boiled and filtered drinking water. There are two balconies, one around the apartment and one in the rooftop, to admire the sights and everyday life of Havana. He has his own Internet connection (better than hotspots around town), which may be used for a lower fee than the slower paid hotspots. It is 400 meters from Malecón (seaside promenade), 200 m from the Prado where the old town starts; but, above all, this the Havana center, where the everyday life is to be lived rather than just seen; I will come back.

Alexis’s homestay was good. He is helpful. The rooms are fine, with aircom. He provides cheap dinners and large breakfasts. He has his own Internet connection (often as good as the hot spot ones in the city) which may be used a few times a day. Possible improvement: more place to put your clothes in the rooms. It is 300 meters from Bus station, 1.3 Km to train station, 400 meters from the Casa de Música (old part of town) and 700 meters from the Parque (best hot spot in town and heart of nightlife).
