When we arrived to this casa, Jorge (the owner) was waiting for us with his wife, they welcomed us and then they showed us our room, there was prepared a big bottle of water, this was really fresh. The room and bathroom was absolutely clean, big bed in our room was comfortable.... More

The room was very comfortable and clean. Good place to make even school works during travelling! There was cute bathroom, always warm water and... More

After my first stay with Jorge’s Casa, in October 2011, I have stayed there already for three times more, and planning to have Jorge’s casa as my home also on my coming visit to Havana. I’ve seen few of the other casas in Havana as well, but returning here… No views from the rooms, but it is is compensated with... More

“Highly recommended”

Reviewed 20 December 2012

I stayed at Casa Jorge Coalla Potts last summer. Without much information at hand on Cuba, I had to heavily rely on a guidebook and this place immediately grabbed my attention. And I am satisfied with my choice. If given a second chance to visit Havana, I will definately stay here again. First, the place is super-clean and comfortable. The... More

Jorge is very knowledgeable about his country and can advise on casas particulares in other Cuban cities. He and the family are generous with their advice and most helpful in every way. We look forward to staying... More

We satayed 11 nights (from October, 16th to October, 27th / 2012) at Jorge's apartment, and we loved it!!!! Don Jorge, his lovely wife Marisel and their charming daughter Jessica are really a wonderful family. The location of the apartment is excellent, and its closed to all the Vedados's tourist attractions, restaurants, etc. They are also very close to Colonial... More

“Nice and quiet in Havana”

Reviewed 27 October 2012

Staying a few days in Havana? A good choice to stay at Casa Jorge! My daughter (16yrs) and I stayed there four days during summer 2012. The flat is in a quiet street, with nice and friendly hosts. The room was clean and the bathroom beautiful with lots of warm water :). Would be happy to return to Jorge´s.
