Travelling is not always easy, especially in a country suffering from unfair sanctions. However, at least here in this apartment I had found a place like home. Not only that it is clean, you have a window with a view over the local streets and even towards the bay with ships passing by, and it has all you need, except WiFi but you can rent a SIM card, but what is outstanding is the hospitality by Omar and his mother. He showed me most of Old Havana and he helped me to find places to buy something to eat. You don’t just get a cheap place to stay, you get a place where you can stay like a local and feel at home, and you get friendship. Well, actually it is a bit strange to recommend my home in Havana here…

This place is even during a blackout still comfortable as there is a window that you can open when the air conditioning is not working, which is rare among affordable accommodation. I stayed at the place during the big blackout on all of Cuba in October 2024 and not only that I had the mentioned advantage, also here the power came back more often than in other parts of Havana or Cuba in general. What’s more, the Prado is close nearby, a nice place to walk. I will miss this place
