Cozy independent apartment in the center of Cienfuegos city! Is a wide place, fully equipped, with all the comfort you need for staying in the very center of the city. I live downstairs with my son Ulises, and together we run this family initiative, offering the guests a charming place to stay in town and enjoy our wonderful city. The apartment is located one block from Paseo del Prado, two blocks from the boulevard, and close to the Viazul bus station. Ideal to be really close to everything while enjoying privacy and comfort and the contact with a local family.
I will be available all the time, so let me know if you need any help. I speak English and a bit of German and Russian, and I love to practice my skills every time I have the chance! Once you arrive, we will help with any tip you need to move around and reaching other destinations.
This is an independent apartment (you will have your own entrance door and key, and you will not share the accommodation with any other person), so you can make full use of the spaces, furniture and equipment there. You will have a bedroom equipped with a double bed, AC and a safe box, a private bathroom with hot/cold water 24 hours, a fully equipped kitchen (microwave, refrigerator, pottery, etc.), a hall (there is a single bed there allowing a third guest), a small service patio, and a nice terrace for enjoying meals and the breeze. You will get the keys once you reach the house the first day during the check in process.
There is WIFI Internet available in the house. The instructions for use will be given once you arrive (know that you will access buying the local code cards available in all the country). There is a telephone line in the ground floor, if you need to make a local call let me know!

Cienfuegos is a magic city with an eclectic architecture and blessed by the proximity of the bay and the sea breeze. Close to the house you can find places to exchange money, small shops, internet WiFi spots, groceries, and all the attractions of the center of the city. There are also wonderful restaurants in town. You can use our house as a base and plan a full adventure that can include a tour through the Bay, a boat ride in the Flamingo's Estuary at Laguna Guanaroca, a day trip to El Nicho natural park and the waterfalls, or even a day to Trinidad. Cienfuegos in known as the Pearl of the South. It was founded in 1869, and it was the only village in Cuba settled by French people. Its eclectic architecture is unique, and you will love to visit great spots as Palacio del Valle, Tomas Terry Theater, Palacio de Junco (it has a tower with a great view of the city), the Museum of the City, Jagua Castle, the Boulevard, the Town Hall and Plaza Marti. Another wonderful spot is the malecon (seawall) where locals use to go at night to enjoy the breeze and the company of friends, with the plus of a WiFi internet connection.
