The people are friendly and the restaurants and hotels are fine. The streets are broken and sometimes difficult to walk. It was a great place to visit in February; we stayed seven nights. Helpful to work with a tour agent to book guides, restaurants and performances. We used CIT (Cultural Island Travel) who were great. We stayed at Casa Colonial La Terraza in the Centro area. Wonderful hosts, good rooms, very charming and clean. Two flight walkup. Outdoor terrace for breakfast. Booked the b&b on booking.com. The hosts are English-speaking and wonderful. Two blocks down is a local music bar (great). This place was easy to book and communicate with. It is inexpensive and wonderful.

We stayed at Barbara's apartment in El Vedado, the best of the places, great huge apartment, great view, super clean, all well maintained, the person in charge of the apartment, Iliana, can't be better, nice person, super clean, always on top of everything, I will come back and rent this apartment on my next trip to Havana again without thinking, and I recommend this place a plus!

Absolutely amazing time! Great people, great architecture, wonderful food, and the best hospitality! I definitely recommend this city! Cuba is outstanding! Stay at B&B Central Havana!!! Perfect, great location to everything and the hosts are so kind.. amor Cuba Also buy an internet card which is super cheap and remember to turn of your WiFi to save your time you bought.. have fun

Five stars for casa tarajano,

th lovely antique furniture.We enjoyed our stay there.So much activity.music at every corner,lots of eating places,art galleries and shops.The only drawback was the fact that no vehicles are allowed in this area so at night it is a good bit of walking and We sp;ent 1 night in central Havana. The area is old and dismal looking.When walking you have to look out for garbage and dog poop.The Casa was clean and comfortable and our hosts friendly and accomodating.We went for dinner at La Guaridia which was on the same street as our casa.It was a lovely experience,attentive service,good food and interesting surroundings. We spent 5 nights at a Casa in Vedado at calle 15 and calle L.It was a clean and comfortable apt with a small balcony and a view of the Malecon.There was an Italian ice cream shop and cafe across the street and many restarants and cafes within walking distance.This area is cleaner and has beautiful old houses and mansions.It was fun to just sit in the balcony and watch all the activities.There are about 6 men of varying ages who gather on the steps every day to old talk and discuss news etc. They were friendly and always ready to find a taxi for us or give advice. We had breakfast at Cafe Mamaine which is 2 buildings away on calle L.They serve a good breakfast and sanwiches.Very good service and cheap food. Very friendly people too.We had dinner at Paladar Laurent ,2 streets away.Good food,reasonable prices .good service. Lunch at Le Chansonnier nearby.I had duck which was delicious,the rabbit was good too. Taxis are easy to find,every Cuban who owns a car uses it as a taxi. For 4 of us to go into old havana is 10 cuc. But once we called a yellow taxi which is govt owned and has a meter and as it was in the evening there was not much traffic and the cost was less than 5 cuc. We spent 2 nights in old havana.We stayed at El Escorial apt a Plaza Vieja.It was a beautiful 2 bedroom wiwith suitcases it is a bit uncomfortable.

Personal advices: Teatro de La Habana Alicia Alonso at a show of the Ballet National de Cuba if you can match it Restaurant La Habana Dona Eutimia in Callejón del Chorro for an exclusive atmosphere Restaurant La Habana San Cristobal in San Rafael No 469, E/ Lealtad y Campanario ... serrande by the sea
