Esther and Rene were very helpful and made every effort to make my visit as pleasant as possible. The room is large, nicely appointed and quiet. The location in Central Havana and the Malecon make it convenient to visit both Old Havana and Vedado. For the adventurous the roof is accessible for views of city and sea. Esther is an excellent hostess and cook, Rene welcoming and both very cultured with a wealth of knowledge on current events, the points of interest and history of Cuba. They gladly help plan and organize places to visit either on your own or with driver and guide. They can make arrangements for travel and accommodation to other locations of interest. Esther offers great service and value. I heartily recommend Esther's Homestay.
