“We Love Ramon!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2007
5
people found this review helpful

We loved staying at Lilly’s and Ramon’s house. The whole family are so friendly and helpful, not forgetting Mina, the loveable dog. They are all really interesting people and they all spent some time to talk to us. Ramon taught us loads about Cuba and was helpful in answering all of our many questions. He booked our bus tickets and called other casa particulars in Cuba to find out their availability. He also made sure we got into safe taxi’s by helping us to arrange our transport.

The apartment has a great view, good clean bedrooms, amazing breakfast (the best food we had in Cuba). There is a good vibe from the artwork around the house and an efficient laundry service. It is located in a safe area. It was about 40 minutes walk to the center of town or 5 minutes in a taxi which are cheap enough to take frequently. We would definitely stay here again!

“Fantastic casa with very helpful owners”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2006
6
people found this review helpful

We stayed in this casa for five nights and really recommend it! Ramon (the host) was very helpful and friendly and it was great to be able to sit down and talk with a Cuban first hand!

This casa is situated in Vedado which is a nice suburban neighbourhood and there are plenty of cost effective restaurants nearby. It is also a very easy walk to the Malecon for the evenings or a longer walk to Old Havana.

The room and bed is very comfortable and the bathroom very nice with a great shower. A shared fridge is also provided so you can keep a good supply of drinks cold in the hot Cuban weather!

They have a pet dog, Mina who is very friendly....

Unfortunately they have a few problems with their lift (but this is typical of Cuba!) but luckily we only had to use the stairs once in the six days we were there, but be prepared...the lift is antiquated so can be very slow....just like everything else in Cuba.

We had trouble booking a rental car to take us to Varadero so Ramon very kindly booked us on the bus and when we left also walked with us to find a taxi to the bus station so that he could give them directions in Spanish. He also kindly arranged us a "taxi" for our 5.30am trip to the airport and got out of bed to see us off.

We really recommend staying with Ramon and his family....they are very generous and interesting people!

  • Liked — Very helpful and generous host
  • Disliked — Lift
  • Tips/Secrets — Be patient!
