My wife and I stayed here during April for a total of 5 nights over 3 visits to Havana. Alberto and Melba are lovely hosts, very friendly and the food was very good. Both speak English but if you speak a little Spanish, they will talk slowly and carefully to help you improve. The room was very nice and the... More

I could be biased, because I am love with this family, but their home is a place you will be unable to forget. Situated in Habana Centro, walking distance from everything you would want to see, including the Malecon and the old town, Melba and Alberto's home commands a spectacular view, a home from home, stories that will keep you...

Probably our favourite Casa of them all. Located on the 8th floor, this kind of reminded us of a New York apartment. The view from the terrace is amazing, especially watching the sunset. You are right next to the Malecon on one side and Prado on the other. Casa de la Musica is few minutes walking down the road. You... More

We arrived late in the evening at alberto y melba and we were confused, because the taxi driver said this is the adress but there was no sign on it. So we were looking into the house, but we did not recognize the elevator at the first glance so we went the stairs and as we couldn't find a light... More

Casa de Melba y Alberto is our favorite place to stay in Cuba. We have visited Cuba 3 times over the last years and always stay with them if they have room for us! (they are very popular, so book ahead). The whole family are very helpful, kind and easy to communicate with (english and spanglish). They have helped us... More

Really great casa in Havana, it is an apartment with 2 rooms and a living room for guests, the room with balcony is really recommendable. Dinner and breakfast really good and Melba and Alberto really friendly family.. Have a talk with Melba, she has great stories about Cuba and things to see..

Alberto, Melba, and their family are wonderful people. Melba was smiling the whole time we were there on our honeymoon. We have never had such fresh fruit and juices as we did when we ate Melba's breakfasts. Melba and Alberto will welcome you into their home as if you are family. The house is located in Centro within walking distance... More

A fantastic place to stay in Centro, a 2 minute walk to the Malecon (the coastal strip), 10 mins walk from Parque Central and Paseo Prado and 15 minutes from Old Havana and the Capitolio. The...

Melba and Alberto's house is not just a high quality house but it is a home where Melba and Alberto take care of you like family. I have seen Melba take care of a friend of mine who got sick as if she was her own daughter. They are such caring people who want to see you have a great... More
