Mariel is a wonderful hostess from the first moment and soon becomes a friend. She knows her city and is a wealth of information about the whats, whens and hows of Buenos Aires. I will stay with her when I return.

To travelers to Havana we highly recommend the Casa de Marvy. We were greeted warmly by Merci, Marvelys' sister, and were offered help in finding our way around the city. The room and facilities were a good value and in a balanced location. It is located about equal distance from the very tourist filled Havana Vieja (Old Havana) and the more contemporary Vedado neighborhood. Also, it is located but a short four blocks from the famous Malecón. We felt very secure within the home and left our things without a second thought as to their safe keeping. In short, if you're looking for a secure, friendly place to stay for a good price you will not go wrong with the Casa de Marvy. Fred Berthrong, USA
