While street outside is run down this is real Havana and does not reflect the excellent accomodation and service at the casa. I fully recommend this property.

Ana

Great location, walking distance to the main tourist attractions. We were a little worried about the noise when we arrived as a lot was happening outside, but the rooms are at the back of the house and very quiet. Breakfast was included and it was amazing. Melisa was waiting for us in the house, she gave us great advice about drinking water, money and nearby restaurants.
