We had a wonderful stay at Ariel's, and highly recommend it. We learned a lot from him about Cuba and Cubans and it was very comfortable and easy to communicate with him. His house is beautiful and quaint, the room was comfortable with working AC and fan. Ariel was very helpful with giving us directions, recommendations and finding taxi rides. His place is 20mins walk from the Viazul bus station, 1-2 blocks away from the Malecon and about 15 mins walk from the city center. There's a gas station down the street that was our easy access to bottled water. We enjoyed our stay at his place very much!
