The house is located in Vedado, 30 min. walk from old Havana or 5 min. by taxi. It is a typical Cuban casa, the outside of the building looks scary, but once you are in it is quite and nice. The fact that you share a bathroom is not a burden and the room is spacious. Karlita is very friendly... More

I reserved this casa before my trip to Cuba, and I booked for five nights. The owner confirmed me two rooms by email. I even booked a dinner for our group at the casa since we will arrive in Havana by late flight. What happened is when I arrived there, only a lady who doesn't understand English at all asked... More

My wife and I stayed at Casa Karlita for 2 nights in February. Room was clean - shared bathroom- with a decent bed and furnishings. We did have to ask for towels as they, apparently, are not normally supplied. Breakfast was great- fresh juices and fruit, ham eggs and coffee. Location was close to the University and Havana Libre/ Hotel... More

Carlita was as kind as ever with us. This is the third time that my wife and I visited Cuba and we decided to visit Carlita's house every morning. We stayed in another 'casa particular' located downstairs, but we used to go up every morning for b'fast. In a nutshell, the b'fast tasted better every morning, Carla and her staff... More

I strongly recommend this place - it was our first time in Habana, and we had reserved a room for 2 days. However, considering how much we loved it there, we chose to expand our stay at Karlita's to the entire trip. People were super friendly and helpful (without ever being annoying) and made us feel like family. The place... More

Karlita and her staff where excellent. The place is very clean and comfortable. All room have air-conditioning and high ceilings. The only set back is the shower, which has very little water pressure.

Carlita and the girls were amazing. the place is absolutely clean, the food they prepare is superb. I would recomend eating there a lot, specially when they make fish :-). its located about 30 minutes walk from the capitol "not 15" as we read before. maybe 15 if you run :-) . you can take a colectivo for 1 cuc...

Very friendly staffed casa in the Vadedo district of Havanna (that is, a 15 minute/1 USD collectivo taxi ride from the historical center). We had a two person private room. During our 3 night stay we felt safe, the room was clean, and Carlita was - literally - like a "Mama" to us. But despite the "defend socialism" propaganda in... More

This was the first and last casa we stayed at on our trip to Cuba. It was the perfect introduction thanks to Karlita's great advice about where to go and particularly what you should pay - so 2.50 cuc taxi from the casa to parc central, 3cuc return from parc to hotel tropicoco beach etc. The casa is in Vedado...
