We could not have been luckier or more appreciative of ending up as Maria's guests! It was a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed being in a green, leafy neighborhood away from the tourist hustle in Habana Vieja. Not only was the place immaculate and nicely appointed, the breakfasts and dinners (for extra) were delicious. We were also grateful for all Maria's guidance about getting around Havana and suggestions for restaurants and night spots. If we had been there a little longer, I think we would have mastered the public bus system from her house to other parts of town.
Most of all we loved her gracious hospitality. We enjoyed the time she spent telling us about Cuba and her interesting life. She generously introduced us to friends and her neighborhood amenities. We feel like we struck up a lifelong friendship. When we return to Cuba we hope we can stay at Hostal Chichitana again.
