The
accomodations
were
fantastic!
The
price
was
right,
and
the
welcome
was
warm.
We
stayed
in
a
private
apartment
that
was
very
homey,
complete
with
all
the
comforts
of
home,
including
one
electrical
outlet
that
had
been
converted
to
voltage
compatible
with
American
appliances.
The
location
was
ideal
for
us.
We
walked
almost
everywhere.
The
Capitol
Building,
La
Bodeguita,
the
Malecon,
Plaza
de
Armas,
were
all
nearby.
Both
the
common
areas
and
the
private
apartment
were
impeccably
maintained
and
decorated.
It
truly
felt
like
being
in
a
home
as
opposed
to
a
hotel.
We
had
air
conditioning,
hot
water,
even
beer,
wine,
and
soda-pop
in
the
fridge
(for
a
modest
additional
charge
for
each
item
we
used).
The
extra
$5
a
day
we
paid
for
breakfast
was
a
pleasant
surprise:
sausage,
eggs,
fresh
fruit,
bread,
pastries,
yogurt,
guava
juice,
and
great
coffee!
All
of
this
was
served
at
a
cozy
dining
room
table
in
the
common
area,
which
was
in
a
neighboring
apartment.
The
place
is
gorgeous,
with
high
ceilings,
vintage
moulding,
and
decor
consistent
with
cosmopolitan
apartments
of
the
1940s
and
50s.
We
were
treated
like
family
every
step
of
the
way.
The
owners,
Elsa
and
Julio
were
present
most
of
the
time
and
very
helpful
when
we
wanted
to
book
a
tour
or
arrange
a
taxi.
We
actually
saved
money
by
taking
advantage
of
these
services,
as
counterintuitive
as
that
seems.
All
of
the
staff
we
encountered
were
extremely
friendly,
efficient,
and
available
24/7
should
assistance
be
needed.
When
we
return
to
Havana,
we
will
most
definitely
return!
