I just got back from spending a week in Havana at Alberto and Melba's flat and I could not have asked for better hosts. The flat is gorgeous, in a prime location in central Havana, and I had my own private balcony overlooking the sea. Melba and Alberto were both incredibly kind and helpful, and helped me book tickets to events and trips nearby places (including Viñales which I'd highly recommend). Their daughter, Sandra was also super lovely and gave me some great advice for things to do around the city.

Melba and Alberto and their family were wonderful hosts. They made our stay very enjoyable and also helped us navigate around the city as it was our first time in Cuba.

Best Hosts Ever! The apartment and atmosphere are filled with love and care. The whole family helped us with finding our way around in Cuba. The breakfast is as outstanding as the hospitality is. Private bathroom, good internet, well located, very clean. If you have time, I recommend you to have a dinner on the balcony. The lobster is as fresh as it can be and the sunset view for your meal is fabolous. Highly recommend to stay !
