About the Area
Casa Lupe is located in the municipality of Playa in the West area of the city of Havana, one of the municipalities that overlooks the sea to the north of the city, a few blocks from the Rio Almendares, boundary that divides it from the neighboring municipality Revolution Square (Vedado). It is a very quiet residential area, with quick communication with the rest of the city, especially the historic centers of Havana. In the town beach there are numerous conference centers, health, cultural and recreational.
Less than 500 meters from the house there banks and gearboxes as well as department stores, restaurants and cafes private high standard and reasonable prices.
Similarly, a distance that can be walked is La Casa de la Música de Miramar (salsa club) and the famous Cabaret Tropicana.
Also at the same distance it is the International Clinic Cira Garcia, for diplomatic and foreign staff, including tourists.
We are less than 100 meters from the new club Bolabana.
Only about 10 minutes by car (and a 20 to 25 minutes by bus) from the Palace of Conventions in Havana and PABEXPO. Less than 15 minutes by bus is the Pedagogical University and in another sense the Higher Institute of Art. It is also very close to the house. Other attractions in Playa can be the National Aquarium, Carl Marx Theater, the International Center Ozone and many other hospitals and health institutions, as well as major hotels, business centers and embassies.
If you want to visit Old Havana or historical town only takes about 10-15 minutes by car and the adjoining town square or Vedado, center of modern Havana, just take a bus a few meters from Casa Lupe and for a price irrisorio no more than 10 minutes.

Excelente familia, muy amable y muy disponible, óptima limpieza e confort, muy buena ubicación, con los medios públicos en 10/15 minutos estás en La Plaza de la Revolución, en 20/25 minutos estás en El Capitolio y La Habana vieja, personalmente me sentí a casa mía.

The room was clean, there is a fan and an air conditioner with telecomandes. I paid 15 CUC for the taxi from the center of Havana to the address Malinalli. in the morning, there was no one at home to tell me the way to go to the bus station .

For the price the room was good and the bathroom was clean. On the other hand, the entry way is quite small, there were a few mosquitoes and it was a bit noisy with neighbors/the house noise.
There was a slight misuderstanding due to different understandings and pressure was put on me to conform to what the owners wanted... this is the first time this has occurred after one month in Cuba and it was not reasonable.
