Best Havana stay especially for solo female travel
I have visited Cuba many times and this place won my heart. I can validate that location is perfect in the heart of old Havana. This place is a home and the hosts are kind and good natured and protective. They wanted to know if I needed a ride, they suggested the best walking routes for safety. They offered privacy and the warmth of being treated like family. The breakfast was good, and included heart shaped cinnamon waffles. Yes, they won my heart.
It is not like a hotel but has the comfort of a hotel. I felt like I had rented a home instead of a room. I knew if I had some difficulty they would offer to solve it, without waiting for me to ask. I will stay here when I return. They are a kind and radiant couple and I feel so lucky to have stayed here.
A few extra highlights: comfortable mattress, no issues with mosquitos, Juan y Yusneidis found out about how much I love flan and they produced a big fabulous homemade flan for the entire house. They are the warmest of Cubans. I want to stress that this is a home as well as a hotel room. Cuba has challenges and staying with Juan y Yusneidis gives you support and protection. As well they are joyous and I loved returning each day to people who wanted to hear about my day and to help me plan my goals in the next day.
I will choose to stay there when I return.
