You couldn't get a better location to stay. Just off the main drag in the Vedado area of Havana, La Rampa, you're positioned perfectly to see the city. It's an easy walk to the Malecon (oceanfront promenade) or to catch a taxi into Habana Vieja. The house is secure and safe and the rooms are clean, though you have to share a bathroom. High ceilings made for a feeling of spaciousness in the rooms. Jorge is very kind and accomodating. The price is unbeatable. Why would you even bother staying in a hotel?

I have to admit my husband and I were a bit anxious going to a "Casa Particular" but the rest of the family felt that "Casas Particulares" was the way to go. My husband and I were so wrong! Jorge and Marisol made us feel part of the famlily soon after we arrived! The rooms were clean, great and confortable beds, excellent shower. Amazing location, within walking distance from all the major poits of interest (Malecon, La Habana Vieja, Coppellia, Hotel Nacional, La Rampa, restaurants..etc) and the food every morning was fresh, plentiful and most importatly served with elegance, conversation and a smile!

Its evident that Jorge, Marisol and their daughter Jessica take pride in running their Casa Particular!

They are a tremendous source of information and direcctions! and most importantly Jorge and Marisol make a killer Mojito!

We will definetly stay with the Colla Poots when we return to La Habana!

We arrived as strangers and we left as friends!

Thank you guys for a great experience!

We stayed with Jorge and Marisel 06Oct-21Oct2011. First in the small back room, then moved to the large room. The reservations were honored in the most sincere manner. Best shower in Havana, and I have tried quite a few during 12 years visiting the city frequently. Will be happy to return to their home during the next visit.

My husband and I stayed with Jorge and his family from Oct5-12 what a kind, caring family.I was a bit unsure about staying in a house rather than a resort, but they sure made me feel safe.Jorge and his wife are a fountain of information as to where to eat and what to go see, when to be careful and what to do to be safe. I learned what was true and what was untrue about Cuba. This was our 4th trip to Cuba, and the bed was not made of concrete as are the beds in the resorts. The room was very comfortable. Thankyou so much for sharing your home and culture with us.
