This was our first time visiting Cuba and my wife and I really wanted to experience the "real Cuba". So for us that meant we wanted to be amongst the local people. We chose to rent the Orange D'Paseo Terry from Luis for a number of reasons. The foremost reason being that, based on the reviews of others, my sense was that Luis is a rock-solid caring type of guy with a lot of integrity. We were not disappointed. He's a gentle soul with an outstanding desire to help make people happy. Since we only know about 6 works in Spanish and had no idea of what to expect when in Cuba it was important (and comforting) for us to be able to rely on someone who could guide us and make suggestions. Luis provided a cell phone for us to communicate directly with him if we ever needed anything or got into trouble. He also checked up on us every couple of days to make sure everything was okay. Other places were cheaper sure, but for us having a good man we could rely on at any time was well worth the extra. THANKS LUIS! Okay, about the apartment. As I'm sure you gathered from the other positive reviews here, the apartment is very clean, smartly renovated/decorated. The beds are comfortable and there is a small safe in each room. Two things I would like to mention. The first is that it will probably take you a while to get the hang of using the water. With the exception of commercial facilities, I've been told most water systems in Cuba are gravity fed from the roof tops of the buildings. Therefore the pressure will probably be less that what you're used to. Luis has a pump installed to help but it needs to see a certain water flow before it will start. That means sometime you have to open another tap to get the shower to work as an example. Use the cold water to get it going not the hot. Once it's flowing you can shut the "helper tap". Second, somebody made a comment regarding having to put your used toilet paper in the garbage. I just thought I'd mention that again with the exception of commercial facilities, it is true for everyone not just this apartment.
