Amazing casa in the perfect location hosted by two warm people that take pride in caring for their guests. My wife and I spent 4 nights here in May. Its located in the heart of Havana, within walking distance to everything. However, some of the best times were siting on the balcony, reading or enjoying a cigar while taking in... More

We spent 3 nights in this casa, situated on the 8th floor of an apartment building. Therefore, it has spectacular views over the whole city. Location is good and the hosts are most welcoming. Breakfast is tasty and rooms are clean. We had a great stay at Melba & Alberto's place.

We stayed here twice and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Alberto & Melba are the perfect hosts with all the information you need for your stay in Havana. They prepared fabulous breakfast and dinners. The view from the room with the balcony is amazing. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Location is excellent and very close to Habana Vieja with tons to see just 5-10 min. walking distance. Breakfast was also excellent with fresh juices and eggs made to order. We would... More

My family (me, my husband, our two sons - 13 and 9) stayed with Melba and Alberto for 4 nights over the Easter weekend. The administrative side was very straightforward - rapid response to my first e-mail request, quick replies to any questions I had, paying at the end. During our stay, Melba was very kind and helpful - giving... More

I started to communicate with Melba about a month in advance. She helped me find another casa in the neighborhood as they were booked on our first night;(stayed withJose Angel on Trocadero, which was also great and clean). She made reservations for us at La Quarida, which did not disappoint. We were celebrating our 31st anniversary and everything went smoothly.... More

We arrived after a hell of a plain trip. It immediately was clear that we were very lucky with our reservation with Melba and Alberto. They made us feel at home at once. The breakfasts and dinners were superb and a lot better than any restaurant visit we did in Cuba. The room was very clean and quiet, given the... More

We stayed opposite with Arnolis. However we came here for breakfast almost daily for the duration of our stay. The hospitality was amazing. Her Guava Juice was the most delicious thing i had tasted. Me being vegetarian, not eating eggs, she was more than happy to cut up a cheese sandwich for breakfast instead of an omelet. I was a... More

When starting a holiday in Cuba it is great to stay at a place like Melba and Alberto's, they couldn't have been more helpful and kind to us. Their Casa particular is within easy striking distance of Old Havana and only a few streets away from the famous Malecon which means you don't need taxis to get about, we are... More
