If you're looking to live like a Cuban, this is a great place for you. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The view is also amazing, overlooking the sea and the city. The bed and pillows were not comfortable but the a/c worked well. It's a 10-minute walk to the Hotel Nacional and Malecon but a little far to walk into Havana Vieja. Silvio was very nice and accommodating. He made a big, very nice breakfast of fruit and eggs, chorizo, etc but be aware the cost of this is not included. The building and apartment have not been updated since the revolution so come with a spirit of adventure!
