very hospitable hostess, helped literally with everything concerning transport, excursions, currency in this unusual country. Very beautiful modern apartments equipped with everything necessary. In the huge room there was a safe, TV, air conditioning, towels, soap accessories, a private bathroom with a large mirror and various devices. Cleanliness and peace for little money. Super!

The check-in experience is terrible, the corridor is very narrow, and a bottle of mineral water costs 100 US dollars

Two vertical flights of stairs, for a heavy suitacase is not ideal. The bed was like sleeping on barbwire. The shower barely had water. The plus, the air conditioner drowned out any noise for 1km

Based in Centro Havana, the place allows for one to be part of the community.and experience the laidback culture. The home has a rooftop which is spacious, I enjoyed watching the sunset later in the day, one can enjoy a drink too and enjoy the view of the surrounding community. It is a blessing on very hot days! My room was satisfactory with a built-in air conditioner. My favourite aspect of my room was my bed, I at times contemplated waking up😅. Lovely and friendly staff. Overall I would return.

The best place we could have possibly stayed. It immediately felt like a little home. Our host gave us advice on us travel to and from all of the places we wanted to visit. She was sweet and just a phone call away every time we needed a little help. We had so many conversations with her where she taught us about the country and culture. The neighborhood is calm but a little loud with music and cars passing by and locals living just next door but that makes it beautiful—we really enjoyed it. Just a short walk away from some great food. The best part is that it isn’t close to any hotels so, unlike other places, there aren’t people waiting outside to try to sell you a tour or cigars. This will be our go-to place on our next visit. I couldn’t recommend it more for a fantastic Havana experience.

İyi yönleri; - merkezi konumda - çok temiz bir yer - ev sahipleri çok ilgili ve yardımcı oluyorlar. Modeline ev sahibi, sorunsuz havaalanı transferimi ayarladı - colonial tarihi bir bina, giriş merdiveni biraz dik ve dar. Benim için sorun olmadı - Havana’dan dönüş yolunda kalmak için gene Espanola yu tercih edeceğim. Tavsiye ederim. Olumsuz olarak; - duvar tipi klimanın sesi gece kullanırsanız rahatsız edebilir. Ben kulak tapası ile çözdüm, sorun olmadı .

Lo unico bueno q puedo destacar es la atencion de la muchacha muy amable. Los espacios de la habitacion super reducidos, el toilet terrible no me podia sentar de lo incomodo q estaba, las almuadas duras, demaciado ruido de los carros y la musica alta de los vecinos, nisiquiera habia agua para tomar, no offrcen nada para comer, el agua la quitan y la ponen, en fin para mi muy mala experiencia

No hubo agua desde el segundo dia, entiendo la situacion de cuba pero lo feo es que tuvimos que movernos a otro hospedaje y se solicito la cancelacion del hospdaje y la dueña lo rechazo, entonces tuvimos que pagar aunque no nos quedamos por que no tenia agua ni para echarle al baño y aveces no tenia luz....
