We really lucked upon the best accommodation in Havana. From the moment we walked in the door we were friends, not guests. Isel and Leslie would have to be the nicest people you will ever come across. The house is right in the heart of Old Havana. You can walk to everywhere easily. Obispo in 2 minutes. The cathedral in... More

This is the best place I have ever stayed in Latin America! Location - PERFECT!! Right in the heart of Habana Vieja, a short walk to everything interesting, and you have your own massive balcony to watch the street-life below - which is a major highlight of Habana in general, so make sure you do a lot of it. Sure,... More

What a wonderful casa. They are located just 3 blocks from the main tourist street, Obispo, and a very short walk to the Malecon and Prado. You couldn't ask for a better location. The room is cozy and spotless, and has two french doors opening onto a first floor balcony -- a great place to watch the lively street activity... More

Beautiful little casa with friendly, inviting hostesses... we were in Havana just as high season began and our hotel suddenly went from 80 cuc per night to 145 cuc (Hostel Valancia)!! The night doorman at our hotel kindly introduced us to Isel and we couldn't have been happier; lovely cheerful little room with our own bathroom and balcony, great breakfast... More

If you want to stay in the heart of Habana Vieja - the best part of town to be in when visiting Havana - opt for this welcoming casa apartment bang in the middle of the district. It's small - only one guest room and no seperate entrance - but you don't feel like you are intruding despite the inevitability... More

Being on the corner is a great way to see the street and the view from Isel`s is great. In the daytime you can see and hear a snapshot of Cuban society and the night is quiet. Isel is a kind host and tries her hardest. The room was clean and the shower was good.....a welcome delight after a couple... More

A wonderful, friendly and entertaining host in Isel. Fantastic location just off Obispo in Havana Vieja. We didn't eat any evening meals here, but breakfast was outstanding in size and quality. Very comfortable bedroom with fridge and air conditioning, and balcony to observe Cuban life from. Brilliant way to end our holiday in Cuba. Thankyou again to the hostess!

Here is your new home in Old Havana. Isel and Ileana will welcome you to their beautifully decorated casa in a perfect location--busy in the day, quiet at night. This casa was recently and fully renovated--new bathroom, plenty of hot water, antique furniture, newly painted in cheerful colours...you won't see a place this well-appointed and this clean anywhere else in...

This is the casa particular experience you are looking for: lovely wrap around balcony, super high ceilings, warm bright colours on the walls, antiques and the very attentive, very conscientious, very fun-loving hostesses. It is a gay-friendly casa: they are open-minded, tranquil people who like to laugh. The food is incredible. Eat breakfast and dinner there if you are interested... More
