Great host, Carlos helped us with anything we needed, he was very informative and left a phone in the apartment so we could get hold of him when ever we needed. The location is perfect and the accommodation was clean and modern with air con rooms. HIGHLY recommended.

Hi Carlos, it has been a year yes and I do apologise for not writing my review sooner. But as we say here in Barbados better late than never.
I HIGHLY recommend this homestay. It was clean, had extremely nice finishes and Carlos was always available to assist with anything. His parents made me breakfast every morning and it was great; wonderful way to start off your day. Gracias mum and dad.
My only complaint was that the room did not have a TV or a radio. It was known ahead of my trip there will be no TV but it was confirmed that there would be a radio. I like to listen to the radio before I go to bed, so this was a downer for me.
See you again Carlos!!.

We had a terrific stay with Carlos at the Mercedes B&B ! Carlos was an amazing host and property manager and concierge -- all wrapped in one. He continually made sure that our trip went smoothly. Carlos was able to connect us with drivers and guides for both local events in Havana, as well as sight-seeing outside of the city. The fresh, newly designed interior was beautifully done -- very impressive. Thank you Carlos for a great experience while we were in Havana ! Alexandra and Victoria

Carlos is a great host. Very helpful & full of good advice about Havana. Wouldn't hesitate to stay with him again or to recommend him for future guests. The room itself is amazing, probably the most high spec appartment in Havana, loved it!!!

Thank you Carlos for our stay in Havana. The apartment was great and it a great spot of the Old Town to stay in to see everything as we only had a short stay. You were a great host. Thank you for helping organise the taxi's, recommending restaurants and sights to see.
I highly recommend Carlos as a host.
Many thanksApril 2018
We had a great time with Carlos in Havanna! He is very nice guy who let us feel like friends. We totally can recommend his homestay and hospitality. He even was organising a most interesting and great trip to Vinales. Thank You very much! Muchos gracias :-) and give a big hello to Lolly and her family!
Saludos Cosima & TomaszMarch 2018
Il soggiorno è stato piacevole,Carlos è molto ospitale e disponibile a soddisfare gli ospiti il più possibile. L'appartamento si trova in una strada decadente,anche se nel cuore di Habana Vieja,a due passi da Plaza Vieja.Purtroppo non era ancora del tutto pronto,visto che mancavano tavolo e sedie,comodini e specchio.

Great location. Spacious bathroom. All very clean. Room for 2 really good. For 3 a little small. But was more than ok for us.
Carlos is amazing. So helpful and kind. He is going the extra mile!!!
Jorge and olivieira prep bf. These 2 are like family. Pleasure to know them. They prepare the bf according to your order. Just tell them what you like.
We loved our stay there. Thx a lotMarch 2018
Es war rundum ein gelungener Aufenthalt.
Der Transfer, welcher uns Carlos für 30 CUC organisiert, hat ausgezeichnet geklappt.
Wir wurden im Casa herzlich empfangen und uns wurde alles gut erklärt.
Am nächsten morgen hatten wir ein Treffen mit Carlos.
Er hat uns auf einer Stadtkarte erklärt , wie man am Besten die Altstadt besichtigt.(Rundweg)
War einfach perfekt. Carlos hat uns für den zweiten Morgen für 5 CUC p.P. ein Frühstück angeboten, welches wir auch annahmen. Es war unglaublich, was aufgetischt wurde von dem Paar welches uns bewirtete.
Das Zimmer war genügend gross und sauber . Ein Safe und ein Kühlschrank mit Mineralwasser gab es auch im Zimmer.February 2018
Our stay in Carlos CP was really excellent! He helped us as much as he can. He offered us great programs and superb place where we can eat (give us map as well), managed to go to Vinales, reserved taxi for us (from the airport, and to Viazul station). His apartment is really nice and cosy with perfect location in the old city center. Near the house there are lovely bars, restaurant, cafe. His hospitality was the best choice in Havana! Give us a phone so we can talk when we had a question. There are wifi connection near the Plaza Viajea if you need. We recommend these rooms. Thanks Carlos!
