Very friendly and helpful staff, always able to explain points to us. Wonderful location makes you feel a p[art of daily Habanero life and walking distance to the a lot more touristy areas.

At first sight we we&'re extremely pleased. We expected much less of Cuba. But after visiting six other Casa&'s around Cuba, this place really is&'nt anything special. Fine room, extremely standard Cuban Casa Particulares (and that is good! ). Rolando speakes good english and learns you about the do&'s and dont&'s in Cuba. The location is in-between two great spots and definitely in walking distance to a lot of places. But there are lot&'s of rooms with just as good or greater location. For the same price we got a much greater room at new years eve in Havanna - booked the day before. Like everyone else in Cuba, Rolando fixed the next place for us in Vinales and then we were on his list meaning that when we got our Casa in Vinales to book in Cienfuegos, she called on his list. In Cienfuegos we met some other travellers who suggested a place in Trinidad, which we called. Inside few hours Rolando called our Casa and got mad at them and us for &'breaking the list&'. I don&'t understand how he fund out and why we had to get involved, but it was kind of scary. But within the end it caused no trouble. You really only need to book a place at your arrival and then they will sort out the rest day-by-day. It works great and we had good experiences 5/6 times. So no worries. You can go with Rolando or someone else, it don&'t really matters much.

Nice place, everyone was super friendly. Casa situated in Centro Havana and is about 1km from the tourist area. Felt safe inside the location during the night as well as the breakfast was good.

Living in Rolando's casa is a real experience. We can watch the local people walking and doing business on the balcony. Rolando gives us a very clear introduction of Cuba. His mother is a outstanding host, too (though she doesn't speak English). It is a bit far from the attractions in Centro, but it's low priced and fun to take a bici-taxi ride.

Rolando and his household are really friendly. The place is perfect, and Rolando&'s tips for a secure trip to Cuba are useful and appreciated. As for the location, it&'s the really best place to see the real Havana, and it&'s a 10 mins to the old town and Vedado.
