Casa Iraida

  Customer Review on 8 January 2012 

The apartment was full of positive atmosphere. I enjoyed communicating with the Cuban family. The mother was extremely nice and helpful. She kept smiling all of the time. They have a safety box with a key, which is a massive plus !

First of all Iraida is so kind :) I feel like home with Iraida :) and they cleaned the room each day even though I used the room for four days :) and if u r travelling alone its hard to meet people in Cuba cuz theres no hostel but I met amazing pals from her house and we travelled togeher :)

They are the most helpful and open individuals I ever met. They help you with every single issue from watching your baggage to arrange your accommodation and transport to wherever in Cuba.

It is a exceptional place. I like that the son of the property owner speaks English and he give us a good informations. Near are also places with good and inexpensive food, it is near to the bus station Viazul. Not so close to the center, but i liket it, cus we could take an old car taxi, which was a nice experience. And it is also inexpensive - for one person not a lot more than 10 nacional pesos (this is less then 0, 5 ).

Good for backpackers who travel alone. Price is good, and around the location is very good food for local prices. And walking or cab to the centre is extremely easy.

Una casa particular strutturata come un ostello. in pratica c'e una camera da letto con 2 letti a castello e un'altra con un castello ed un matrimoniale. Loro affittano il letto singolarmente e quindi si condivide la camera con chi c'e, tipico degli ostelli. Se si viaggia da soli si risparmia notevolemte perche in tutta cuba normalmente non affittano letti singoli ma stanze e le fanno pagare piu o meno lo stesso che voi siate 1, 2 o 3. La casa si trova nel Vedado, una zona dell'avana tranquilla e non troppo lontana da locali interessanti. Per andare verso la citta vecchia ed il centro si possono prendere dei taxi cab particular e pagare con peso cubani (10 pesos, meno di 50 centesimi di euro); saranno circa 15/20 minuti. Dal centro poi partono anche i bus per andare al mare. La spiaggia piu conosciuta e Santa Maria a Playa del Este. Si parte dal parco a lato del capitolio con bus rossi e si paga circa 2euro e mezzo andata e ritorno (3 CUC=3dollari) A casa non e possibile portare ospiti per motivi di sicurezza. Il bagno e condiviso e pulito. La gestione e affidata a Iralda e al figlio Alessandro che parla inglese, francese e un po di italiano: brave persone. Viva Cuba!

- Iraida is a very nice person who takes care of you during your trip. - "La casa Iraida" which is the least expensive in La Havana. - You can meet extremely warm and friendly individuals (fellow travelers) during your stay.
