My wife and i stayed with Alina and her family in December for 7 days. The house is only a street away from the centre of old havana and is very clean and comfortable. The bedroom is large enough for two people and the bathroom is large enough. Alina and her family made us feel very comfortable and welcome at... More

After a brief visit last year, I stayed at Alina's for two months this time around. During this time, I felt like I was living at home. The house was clean and pleasant, the cooking was great, and Alina and her family were friendly and supportive. When I got sick, Alina went above and beyond to take care of me,... More

Not recommended for families with small children (ours 3,5 and 7), since Alina's livingroom is full of temptingly cute porcelain figurines on low tables and shelves, and children are NOT allowed to touch, yet they have to pass on the way to the bathroom and kitchen and on the way out. Water dripping from ceiling in bathroom, alas only temporarily... More

We stayed at Casa Alina for 2 nights during 2012 Christmas holidays. I do not recommend it at all. First, Alina got mad at us because she had understood that we were gonna stay for 1 week instead of 3 nights, even though our (multiple!) emails were written in perfect Spanish. Then she probably found other guests for the week... More

I have stayed at Casa Alina for two times, and I am sure I will come back! Exellent service, and the house is clean. The casa is well located in the centre of Old Havana, with a lovely view from the 7'th floor. Alinas food is deliscious and strongly recommended! Alina and her family are very friendly and helpful, and... More

Alina's casa was the first place we stayed on our trip and it was a great place to start. Alina and her husband Esteban have a spacious and airy apartment at the top of a tenement in the centre of Old Havana. Each side of the flat has spectacular views of the city and the bay. Although it was over... More

Thanks to Alina, Esteban and family for a great stay. The apartment is on the 7th floor, so there are great views across the city and a beautiful breeze as the windows can be opened without risk of mozzies or much noise. Esteban and Alina are very friendly and helpful. Despite only being notified of a booking for a couple... More

I recommend Alina's casa a great base for exploring Havana, especially old Havana. Alina is a wonderful cook - you will really enjoy your breakfasts and dinners there. Alina's family are lovely people too. We stayed there in December 2009/January 2010 and would certainly stay there again.

I been staying in Alina's house for the last 6 years every time I visit Cuba with my family. I'm Cuban so I go there at least once every year. Having two girls I needed to stay in a child friendly place, close to all of the main amenities in Havana and a room that had enough space to cater... More
