Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Havana

My group had 17 people on a study abroad experience from the United States. The rooms were clean, comfortable, spacious. The host went above and beyond to help us have enough space to have discussions and learning experiences on the terrace. They were flexible with the times we needed to have breakfast depending on our activities for the day. They were absolutely fantastic.

The host were amazing. This place is in a quiet neighbourhood, away from craziness of the old town. Host is very responsive, friendly and attentive. Very safe.

Thank you very much for the hospitality of all of you, we really enjoyed our trip thanks to the stay so close to the most touristy of the city, the experiences in this great country but above all the human warmth we found in this house, we will gladly return again and with the desire to repeat it very soon... greetings!!

This airbnb was great! The host, Adis, messaged us before our flight landed to coordinate a taxi from the airport to the airbnb. The taxi was waiting for us when we landed and then Adis met us on the street when we got to the airbnb - everything was easy and seamless. From that moment on, we knew we were in good hands. The space itself was very nice. Adis was super accommodating and asked us what time we wanted breakfast each day (breakfast is an additional charge but definitely worth it). My only comment is to bring earplugs with you as the night time noise can make it difficult to sleep. However, this seems to be all of Havana so this is definitely not a negative comment to this place- just a general tip :)

We had a great stay at Carlos & Nene's apartment. The hosts were super nice and gave us a lot of tips which were fitting us perfectly. We were in Havana for New Years eve and Nene gave us a tip with the perfect location to go to for us. The hosts are super helpful/supportive on anything you can think of. Breakfast is freshly made in the kitchen of the apartment, nothing was missing and the chats with her are funny, its been the perfect start into the day. When we're back in Havana, we'll definitely book this apartment again.

I would come back again. I really liked the place

WE LOVED THIS PLACE! Really, you could not pick a better house in Havana. We chose it because we wanted an LGBT-safe space and a bit of calm in the crazy city. And really, we could not have been more pleased with the choice. First, the junior suite is a lovely room in a small mansion that Andrea and his wife have converted into a boutique hotel. The house simply radiates with this understated elegance that will fill your soul with joy. The house itself was the mansion of a former senator's mistress, lost -- and won back -- in a poker game! Luckily the bones of the house have withstood the test of time and Andrea and his have restored it to luxurious beauty. They imported all of the furnishings from Italy, giving you this feeling of living in old Havana. Our room itself was the "smallest" of the rooms but was still more spacious and luxurious than I imagined. We had a small terrace from which to have our coffee and watch the passersby. We had an oversized king bed, perfect for a good night's sleep. Second, the service rivals what I've experienced in luxury hotels in the US and Europe. We stayed here during my birthday and the staff could not have a done a better job making me feel special, without over doing it. Everyone doted on us -- from giving us welcome drinks to refresh us from our long journey to helping us have our 'real' Cuban experience of riding the bus -- they made us feel loved and welcomed. Third, the food!! Breakfast is included in your stay and WOW is it yummy. Whatever you want -- eggs, fresh fruit, carajillo (cuban coffee w/ rum) -- they'll make. The restaurant itself serves Italian food and it is not to be missed! Trust me, we went to all the recommended spots -- La Guarida, Dona Eutemia, etc. -- but their restaurant, Eclectico, outshone all of those. Fourth, the neighborhood. Go to Habana Vieja for a couple of hours, but then get out of there! Vedado is truly underrated but it's the place to be. We enjoyed quiet nights and beautiful daytime strolls. Andrea can direct you to some fun little home shops and artists areas. The architecture itself makes the trip worthwhile. You cannot pick a better place, truly.

It was a pleasure to stay with wonderful hosts like Ricardo and his lovely wife Ana. I cannot wait to see them again in the future.
