Estancia muy agradable con Odalys. Nos dio un desayuno muy rico y completo con fruta, jugo, queso, jamón, huevo, café, leche, pan... También nos resolvió varias dudas que teníamos recién aterrizados en Cuba.
La habitación era amplia.
¡Nos volveremos a quedar de nuevo con ella en nuestra nueva estancia en La Habana!Host reply
Muchas gracias Patricia. Fué muy satisfactorio tenerte en mi casa y abrirte los caminos en Cuba. Un abrazo y bienvenida.

We arrived late at night. We had a warm welcome from Odalys and her son. After a good night sleep we had a lovely breakfast with delicious pancakes for the kids. Odalys loves kids :). We enjoyed it a lot. The room was great. The son helped us out with finding gazoline for the car, which was a real problem at that time. Clean room with our own sittingroom. At walking distance from the most nice tot see places.

Nos quedamos las primeras 3 noches en Cuba en la casa de Odalys, Moises y Adriana - ¡una familia maravillosa! Nuestras vacaciones no podrían haber empezado mejor. Fuimos muy, muy bien recibidos y siempre nos sentimos como en casa. Toda la familia es cálida, atenta, cariñosa, comunicativa y tiene un gran corazón. Disfrutamos de un gran desayuno cada mañana y nos divertimos mucho. Odalys y Moises nos explicaron mucho y nos ayudaron con todo. ¡Muchas gracias por acogernos y por lo bien que lo pasamos con vosotros! Sólo les deseo lo mejor.

Gracias amiga, fué maravilloso tenerlos en mi casa de hospedaje! Mis hijos son muy tímidos, ví a Moisés y a Adry muy conservadores con ustedes. Les agradaba hablar con tús padres! Cariñosos, respetuosos y amables, ya ustedes forman parte de nuestra familia en Cuba. Los recomiendo a toda la comunidad de Homestay y regresen cuando quieran! Un abrazo grande, quiero publicar una fotografía, con la bandera de Alemania que me regalaste.

Nuestras dos primeras noches en Cuba las pasamos en casa de Odalys en La Habana. Nos ayudó tanto que siempre guardaremos buen recuerdo de ella y su familia. La ubicación de la casa está fenomenal justo en el callejón Hamel. Nos gestionó los taxis que necesitamos.

Muchas gracias Marta. Todo transcurrió como si nos conociéramos de toda la vida. Siempre serán bienvenidos a mi casa.Un abrazo.

I stayed with Odalys when I first arrived in Havana. I was travelling on my own, but Odalys let me felt welcome the second I met her. She arranged some food and some for me as I was arriving late. She also arranged something with her neighbor to change money. She doesnt speak English, but her son in law does! However she does try to communicate with you. Absolutely loved it to stay with her!!

I had the best stay at this Casa Particular! Odalys treated me like family, gave me suggestions for things to see in Havana, and even took me out on the second night. I am very grateful to have found this home, I will be back! Such a beautiful family and the room was very cosy & comfortable!

Marlene y yo pasamos las primeras dos noches en Odalys casa. Seguimos sin ningún tipo de preparación a Cuba. Odalys y su familia nos recibieron cálidamente por la noche. Desde el principio nos sentimos bien y en buenas manos. El apartamento grande está muy limpio y bien decorado. Odalys nos ha dado recomendaciones muy útiles para nuestras incursiones en Cuba y también nos ha enviado a otras Casas. Odalys es simplemente una persona maravillosa y estábamos muy agradecidos de poder quedarnos con ella. Ella tiene un gran corazón y es una gran persona. Esperamos verte pronto, querida Odalys.
Hasta luego,
Zarah y MarleneMarch 2019
I really enjoyed my stay with Odalys in Centro Habana. The accommodation is located right behind Callejon de Hamel (where you will find exciting rumba performances on Sundays) and close to the Malecón. The old city center of Havana is no walking distance, but Odalys recommended me to take the bus for only 1 peso nacional. That's no money!
Odalys is very sweet. She gave me a lot of advice, which I really appreciate. In Cuba, I experienced some hosts who are not honest and only focused on money, but Odalys is definitely not one of them! I felt very at ease with her, her husband and daughter.
