Chambre peu confortable dans un secteur délabré et très bruyant. L'adresse n'était pas la bonne. En l'absence du propriétaire, sa conjointe a fait de son mieux... Attention! Le local ne convient pas aux personnes handicapées.

Overall stay was fine, but there were several issues I was unhappy with -
1. The address of the homestay is incorrectly listed on the website, and the correct address was not given to me until several messages in which was very confusing. The actual address listed on the website is ANOTHER PERSON'S homestay, who tried to give me a different room upon arrival
2. I specifically chose this homestay over another one due to the husband speaking English and wanting to prevent communication barriers. The husband was MIA and not seen once during the stay. Wife gets 5 stars for effort but speaks zero English.
3. The toilet REPEATEDLY stopped flushing throughout our stay. When attempting to ask the wife to rectify the situation, she incorrectly assumed we wanted new sheets and towels every night. This was fine (but a waste of water and unnecessary), but having to put put our hands in the toilet tank a MINIMUM OF 8 TIMES throughout our stay to correct it ourselves was very annoying and not pleasant.
4. I was charged for each breakfast per person per morning while the listing states that a breakfast is included.Location was accurate - technically in Central Habana but only a few blocks from the edge of Old Habana as advertised.

Notre séjour chez Rejean et Sudnay était super. Le logement au 3ème niveau est bien situé dans la Havana Centro, proche du Maléçon et de la Havana Vieja. La chambre est bien équipée et la climatisation est moderne. La terrasse sur laquelle on prend le petit déjeuner, au coeur de la Havane est un vrai plus, rare.
Sudnay s'est occupé de nous avec attention et nous a dépanné pour garder nos bagages pendant notre escapade à Vinales. Elle nous a concocté des petits déjeuner très copieux et délicieux.
Une adresse à recommander fortement.Host reply

The appeared not to be as indicated by Homestay but at the west end of the "colon", close to the Malecon. A little further away from Old Havana but nevertheless easy to walk to within 10 minutes. The house has a nice roof terrace next to the room with a view over the city and the sea. Rejean and his wife appeared to be good hosts and took own initiative to help us with some problems concerning a rental car (as we don't speak Spanish). Thanks for the pleasant stay!!
