Exceptional people made it a great stay!
Marilin y Robert were fantastic! I couldn’t ask for much more. The room was comfortable but it was more the hospitality that made this an exceptional stay. For someone who didn’t speak much Spanish, I needed help from time to time and they were very accommodating (and bilingual). I highly recommend staying at their casa.

It was our first day in Havana and Marilin was very helpful to us to settle down! She told us where should we buy the wifi, where to eat, and where to grab a taxi to go to our next spot. Lovely cats and a cozy room! My friend was really touched by the breakfast we would love to stay again our next visit!

Très bon accueil et petit déjeuner copieux malgré les pénuries, Marilin a fait tout son possible pour nous mettre à l’aise.
Chambre et salle de bain très propres, bien placé même si un peu loin du centre touristique. Facile d’accès pour l’aéroport, calme et terrasse très agréable

Tipica casa particulares vicino al centro dell'Avana, arredamento old fashion ma pulito, camera confortevole e proprietari molto disponibili. Consigliato.

We had a pleasant stay with Marilin. Marilin is a very helpful woman who speaks English quite well. She is always around to help you out with any question you have. She keeps her house and the rooms clean. The bathroom was nice. The location is good because there are some nice restaurants near. It is also close to the Malecon. (Boulevard) Plaza the revolution is within walking distance. Everything else can be reached by taxis. Taxis are easy to find since Marilin is on a busy road.
