On the road from Capitolio building to Plaza Vieja you will find our casa, a fantastic homestay in the real heart of old Havana. On the second floor of a stunning Art Nouveau style building from the 1913 is the home of Yadira, Lazaro and their daughter.

The apartment has been modified in 80's when the owner divided a part of the apartment in to two floors. So the apartment is a authentic mix of colonial and soviet era Cuba. There is cold and hot running water in the shower.

Breakfasts and dinners are offered for extra pay. Breakfasts include a variety of fresh tropical fruits and juice, also eggs served with season vegetables, bread and butter along with coffee, tea and milk. Dinners include a variety of Cuban foods.

The laundry service is also available when needed. If you need a taxi at your arrival at the International Airport “Jose Marti”, don’t hesitate on asking for it as it will be at your disposition.

The neighbourhood is safe, surprising for its variety of architectural styles, baroque, neo-gothic, neo-classical, eclectic, art nouveau, and art deco,
modernist and post-modernist. Streets that are both, ancient and modern, extraordinary and authentic, just waiting to be rediscovered. You don’t need to take a taxi to go to the most frequent visited places by Cuban and foreign people.

    Yadira’s flat is right in the middle of Old Havana, close to the Capitol & a 10 minute walk to the Malecon. The room which was en-suite was clean. We had a good filling breakfast in the morning for which we were charged $USD 5 per person. Neither Yadira or her husband spoke much English. We were made to feel very welcome, and I would recommend it to anyone.

    Wir hatten eine wirklich gute Zeit bei Yadira. Das Zimmer mit kleinem Bad war gemütlich und es lag separat über der eigentlichen Wohnung. Das Frühstück war mega lecker. Yadira und ihr Mann haben für uns auch ein Taxi zum Flughafen bei unserer Ankunft organisiert was super hilfreich war.
    Was absolut herausragend ist, ist die Lage. Man ist quasi mitten in Vieja und kann zu Fuß alles bequem erreichen. Direkt gegenüber ist ein nettes kubanisches Restaurant mit sehr leckerem Essen - wir können diese Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen.

    Great location, clean and Lazaro and his family were so welcoming. Lazaro gives you great tips when you check in, I would've been none the wiser. He also gave great recommendations. I ended up staying in Havana for 6 nights overall and they were very accommodating and flexible to my change of plans and also helped out in terms of transport and getting places.

    Recomendado! El apartamento está muy céntrico, un buen lugar desde el que visitar la Habana, y tiene buenos lugares para comer cerca. Son una familia muy agradable, me ayudaron con todas las dudas que tuve y con buenos consejos y recomendaciones. En la habitación tiene una cama cómoda, su nevera, y ventilador o aire acondicionado según prefiera.

    La ubicación es perfecta, y todo fue genial durante la estancia, excepto que en el último minuto nos dice que las botellas de agua que consumimos costaban 250 pesos cada una, no nos lo dijeron al llegar y no contábamos con ese gasto por lo que nos quedamos sin cash en pesos.

    This is just the perfect place to stay in La Habana if you want to experience the real life of the city! Right in the thick of things, it is walking distance to almost everything you might want to see or do. An authentic modern Cuban home, it had everything we needed. We were particularly grateful for the fridge in our room, fully stocked with nice cold water! Up a couple of flights of steep enough stairs, probably a difficulty if you have any physical challenges, but Lázaro was on hand to assist with our luggage so it was no issue for us. We availed of Yadiras lovely and extensive breakfast each day, a good healthy start for our days out and about. The family was super helpful with bookings, taxis and local information which we would probably have struggled with otherwise. Nothing at all was too much trouble for Lázaro, who was also very patient when I couldn’t get in the door because I kept turning the key the wrong way! Definitely would recommend this casa for your stay in La Habana.
