Wir haben unsere Unterkunft bei Barbara und Keyla für 1 Monat im Dezember gebucht und waren mehr als zufrieden. Es war so familiär und wir sind so herzlich empfangen und verpflegt worden.
Wir hatten auch das Frühstück dazu gebucht, kann ich auf jeden Fall nur empfehlen! Jeden Morgen gab es frischgepressten Saft und das Frühstück war im allgemeinen auch sehr lecker.
Wir danken euch von Herzen und freuen uns hoffentlich auf ein Wiedersehen.
Ganz liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.We booked our accommodation with Barbara and Keyla for 1 month in December and were more than satisfied. It was so familiar and we were so warmly welcomed and taken care of.
We had also booked breakfast, I can definitely recommend it! There was freshly squeezed juice every morning and the breakfast was generally very tasty.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we hope to see you again.
Lovely Greetings from germany.Reservamos nuestro alojamiento con Barbara y Keyla durante 1 mes en diciembre y quedamos más que satisfechos. Era tan familiar y nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y nos cuidaron.
También habíamos reservado el desayuno, ¡definitivamente lo recomiendo! Había jugo recién exprimido cada mañana y el desayuno en general era muy sabroso.
Gracias desde el fondo de nuestros corazones y esperamos verte de nuevo.

Un sitio genial para quedarse en La Habana, muy buena ubicación y habitaciones acogedoras y limpias . El trato de Keyla y su familia es súper amable y cercano. Los desayunos son brutales, en especial el zumo de mango. Además, cualquier cosa que necesites, van a tratar de ayudarte.
Sin duda, un sitio para regresar.

Mi novio y yo nos sentimos bienvenidos desde el momento en que llegamos a la casa de Barbara. Hermosa casa espaciosa y habitaciones Nos sorprendió lo perfecto que era por tan poco costo. La casa tiene muchas áreas y tuvimos mucha privacidad, y está justo en el corazón de la ciudad, entre la antigua y la nueva ciudad, así que caminamos a todas partes. El desayuno consistía en zumo fresco, huevos, mucha fruta fresca, pan y café. ¡Nos llenaron hasta la cena! Recomiendo encarecidamente esta estancia en casa para cualquier edad, familias, parejas, amigos. Le encantará su estancia aquí :-)
¡Gracias por una estancia maravillosa!

Hôte très gentille , fait tout pour rendre votre séjour le plus agréable possible.
Très belle maison bien entretenue.
Je vous la conseil vivement.March 2019
Barbara und ihre Familie sind herzlich. Die Casa ist sauber, toll geführt und eine kleine Oase. Das Zimmer ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und die Matratzen sind sehr gut - nicht durchgelegen. Wir würden immer wieder kommen.
