We stayed a total of six lovely nights in Marilu's casa in Havana. Not only is it a superb casa situated in the heart of Old Havana, with a brilliant view of the El Capitolio from one (of the two!) balconies, Marilu was a tremendous help to us during our stay. She organised travel, made us the best breakfasts (which were big enough to feed a small family!), and taught us Spanish where applicable. This really came in handy, especially once we left Havana for other towns in Cuba. But what made our stay most special is that Marilu made us immediately feel welcome and made the initial daunting experience of taking on Havana easy and enjoyable! Marilu, thankyou for making our experience in Cuba so memorable. To anyone coming to Havana: we could not recommend staying with Marliu highly enough! Gemma and Ted :)
