This was a perfect stay for our travels. Fina (who we had most contact with) was very helpful and went completely out of her way to make sure that we would feel comfortable and she was ready to answer any question we had (with directions, Cuban culture clarifications etc.). The location was good, both the old town and the new town were walking distance while the Malecon was around the corner. The breakfast option was great.

When we return to Habana, we will definitely stay here again!

On our first nights in Cuba we really enjoyed our stay in this house with Liz as a host. Our room was quite spacious and very clean. On our second stay in Habana, we got the smallest room (nothing wrong with it) but the bathroom is quite small. Unfortunately, we didn't really like the real hosts as we felt only as a business than a guest. The house is 20 min walking from Parque Central with the most basic breakfast among all our stays on our 2-week vacation in Cuba. Food is quite expensive for us tourists so the 5 CUC you pay for breakfast is not really worth it.

The owner were really helpful. TheyThey even got up with us when we had to get a taxi at 5 am to the airport. The house is very central yet quiet. The house is lovely and the breakfast was really nice as well. They even helped us with our laundry for a small fee.

Nice accommodation in Central Havana in walking distance to Havana Vieja. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Breakfasts was big and tasty: fruits, eggs, bread, marmelade, fruit juices and coffee. The only minus for me was the lack of windows in the rooms (only to windows to the inner yard, which couldn't be opened anyway) but I guess that might be typical for Havana buildings.

Good value for the price.

We had a wonderful time in Havana staying at this Casa, warm, friendly and helpful hosts. I only gave 90 for the location because it was a 15 minute walk back from Havana Vieja after an evening out but to be honest it was a safe walk and you got to see a real neighbourhood on the way back that you would not see if you stayed in the tourist area.

Excellent Casa in so many ways!

Fina and Daniel were extremely helpful and friendly. They helped us arrange transportation to our next city, and gave many helpful hints for making the most of our stay in Havana.

Their house was very comfortable, clean, with wonderful breakfasts, and I was very happy to be staying in Central Havana where we could walk to almost all sites of interest, including Havana Viejo and the Vedado. I highly recommend their Casa Particular.

Space is very clean, however due to lack of ventilation (no outside windows in the room) it is very musty and smells mouldy. Not great for those with allergies. Location is ok; I would definitely stay in Habana Vieja next time. Breakfast for 5CUC/person great value. Fina is amazing, she organized our transportation and casa in Viñales, which was wonderful. I would not stay here again because of the space, but Fina y Daniel were great hosts.

Fina was very helpful to us in ringing about our flight. She left us coffee in a flask as we had to leave at 3 am the next day which was good of her.

Didn't realise there was a flight of steps but probably our fault for not noticing this. Noisy building work going on above which continued even after he has asked to stop ( this at 9-10pm ).

Very clean casa, great location on a walking distance to central Havana and Vedado too. Near is a small fruit market with tasty pineapples and avocados. Daniel and Fina are very welcoming and nice people. Fina provided us with map and informations about transport, attractions and working hours. My friend and I stayed 4 days in July and we are highly recommending this casa.

This casa was the best casa that I stayed in when I was in Cuba. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was big and delicious. But the best part for me was that Daniel and Fina were extremely friendly and helpful! They are both very welcoming and approachable and even though I disturbed them multiple times they were never annoyed with me and they helped me find accomodation in other cities as well as directing me to the bank, the shops and wifi locations. I did not want to leave and I will probably be back again soon as I miss them already.

Although we arrived very late, our host welcomed us kindly. We enjoyed a room with ample space and the typically decorated Cuban living room and patio. The house was a short 10-15 Min walk from most attractions. A supermarket was opposite our house and a taxi at a fair rate was arranged by our host back to the airport

A colorful and comfortable home in central Havana that allowed us to walk to most city sights. Taxis or pedi bikes were readily available nearby for more distant destinations.

Daniel y Fina went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We took advantge of the optional breakfast every morning and afterwards they were more than happy to answer our never ending flow of questions about Cuba. They also assisted with phone calls for reservations to resturants. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely couple to anyone visiting Habana.

We spent there 2 nights. Owner was very friendly, she gave us the map and helped us orientate on our first day. Fina made delicious breakfast! The room was simple, but large and clean. There was a TV corner in the house and you can use the kitchen. Interesting location, not far from centre. Gladly recommend, we enjoyed!

Fina was a fabulous hostess. they were available to answer all our questions and provided us with breakfast whenever we needed one. the room and washroom was quite comfortable and clean. the Casa itself is quite beautiful, high ceilings and large rooms. my only suggestion would be to get rid of the trash in the room and washroom everyday. we were about a 20 min walk from the centre, which is fine for us because we like walking, but may be a distance for others.

Daniel and Fina are wonderful people. They have a lovely home in the center of Havana, which is about 10 minute walk to all the big tourist attractions. They serve a deliciously and very affordable breakfast in the mornings, they provide laundry services, and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. They also helped my group orientate ourselves on our first day, and always had great recommendations. I highly encourage people to choose Daniel and Fina as we had a wonderful experience.

nice, clean 3-room apartment (1 single bed and a matrimonial each room) with shared bathroom located in Habana Centro, 10 minutes walk from Malecón and the Capitolio. The owners, Daniel and Fina, are a lovely retired couple who care 100% for their guests and give a lot of advise about what to do in La Habana, but only in Spanish (English isn't that good). Daniel is an excellent cook, ask for lobster!

We enjoyed our stay really much there, as the owners do not live there (as in other casas particulares in Cuba) you have the whole appartment for yourself - big plus!

Prices for rooms, breakfast and dinner are quite moderate, it's really worth it!

Casa Daniel and Fina was the best choice we could have taken! During the 4 months in Cuba i stayed there five times, with my friends, with my dad, my boyfriend. Fina and Daniel are are two of the most endearing Cubans I met, always caring for you. They show you where to go in Havana, have so much information material and always prepare great fresh juice :) The huge flat is exceptionally clean, has three spacious rooms and a huge bathroom. You can use the kitchen, TV, whatever you like. Special hint: Try their dinner, its too delicious!
