Ariadna has a beautiful casa that looks exactly like the pictures! The room was very clean and you are provided with soap, shampoo and everything else you might need. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great! Ariadna and her daughter speak perfect English, give great recommendations on Santa Clara and all in all were easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend this place! Oh, but bring earplugs because the Cubans do not kid around with their salsa!

The room was clean to start and decently outfitted with amenities. But I'm not enthusiastic about this casa for a few different reasons which I will explain. We stayed here for four days and on the third day, our room was in need of cleaning but they had no intention of doing so: we had to ask for this and even then it was with the greatest trepidation that they agreed. Secondly, the beds were fine for a night, but not too good. Thirdly, the space is quite small so don't go here if you have more than two suitcases. Fourthly, the hosts do not do anything themselves as they have a lot of staff and these people will solicit you for gifts, for example, if you can give them soap or a pen. Quite awkward because they have access to your private stuff. Finally, the breakfast (5CUC) isn't very good either (stale bread, old cheese). Oh, and bring earplugs because the Cubans do not kid around with their salsa! All in all, I wouldn't recommend a stay here.

Iraida has a beautiful casa that looks like the pictures. The room was clean and decently outfitted with amenities, although a bit dark. The beds were comfortable, and there was hot water! The 5CUC breakfast is very basic, but the dinner is amazing, especially the grilled fish! Iraida was easy to communicate with and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place!
