The property is comfortable,clean and convenient. The room has excellent ocean view, comfy mattress, a big closet, refrigerator and hot water in the bathroom. The apartment has a internet with a fee. The air conditioner was not working 💯 but you can open the big glass window and enjoy the natural breeze from Famous Havana Malecon.Has different dining options around. The food is delicious but drink water bottle only.The transportation is difficult and you have to walk a lot to others places. I recommend it,rent a car and pick up at the airport.Have different currency you can use(US,EURO,Cuban Pesos) ,it better a Cuban credit card.You can get it from the bank and avoid handing cash.

The owner was unhelpful and the service provided was zero. I actually gave her coffee so that she would make a coffee in the morning. The room was unclean. We had to ask for anything the attention to clients was none and if you asked anything you felt you was an inconvenience. Overall bad experience

Die Wohnung hat eine hervorragende Lage in der Nähe des Spaziergangs entlang der Strandpromenade in die Stadt, und etwa 10 Minuten von Habana Vieja entfernt ist . Sie verfügt über alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man braucht, wie einen wunderschönen Balkon, Sicherheit und Warmwasser. Claudia und Ariel sind sehr nett. Sie haben mich sehr freundlich empfangen.. Das Gebäude ist sicher, hat eine Klimaanlage, heißes Wasser, einen schönen Balkon und ist makellos!
