La mejor experiencia con Virgen y Mariela.

La Sra. Virgen alquila una bonita y limpia habitación a precio más que razonable. Además, nacida en 1949, te regala una conversación de cómo ha vivido y ha sentido Cuba en los últimos 74 años. Solo esta conversación justifica una vista a la Habana.

Merci Virgen pour ton accueil.
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
