My teenage daughter and I stayed with Carlos and his family for just over a week. We had a fantastic time in Havana and Carlos' home is just as described - beautiful, exceptionally clean and an oasis of peace in a very busy city! Havana is completely different to Scotland and very hot and humid in July. We enjoyed experiencing a totally different way of living. I loved the fact we were mostly wifi and other gadgets free - great for parents of teens as they have to speak to you for a change as wifi is so slow and very unreliable everywhere you go! Also no distractions like UK style shopping centres - another plus for parents!! For myself and my daughter, it was a pleasure to be able to go out safely at any time of the day or night; be treated respectfully and be welcomed wherever we went. Ordinary Cuban people are amazing !!! There is so much to see and do! We would recommend the Parisienne show at Cuba's National Hotel; Salsa in Hotel Florida, in Old Havana; food at Cha Cha Cha restaurant, in Havana and the food in Streetburger right opposite Carlos' House. A trip to the San Jose market at the harbour is good for souvenirs and the bars Hemingway used to go to in Havana and Cojimar are worth seeing for the atmosphere. Lots of lovely parks and walks too. Teens will love a tour of the city in the moto bike "bubble" taxis and the "hop on, hop off "buses as well as in old style taxi cars. You will love staying in Carlos' house, especially if you know about history and enjoy being in an authentic location. Thank you again Carlos and Naomi and the lovely lady who works for you.
