I stayed in Dr. Flora's casa particular last July (2011) and found her accommodations welcoming and pleasant. It was an easy walk from her home to a good Cuban restaurant in a safe neighborhood. We ate a nice breakfast before departing (only a one-night stay). Dr. Flora is personable and helpful, and she speaks excellent English.

I am confused why my experience at this casa was so much worse than the reviews I read about it beforehand. When my friend and I arrived at Flora's casa, her and her husband did not even show us the house. We had to ask for a tour to see where we would be staying, but they only showed us... More

A lovely renovated casa on a Ficus tree lined street. The area has many renovated homes and is a lovely area of Vedado. It is in walking distance of the Havana University and most points of interest.. The hot showers, wonderful daily breakfasts with fresh fruit and dinners which included delicious soups served at our convenience were all excellent. Flora... More

For the real Havana experience you must stay at the Roca family residence. A great location for easy access to Havana city and all attractions. The friendly atmosphere of the Roca house, being in a leafy suburb of Havana city, seeing life as it is for many Cuban people, is something not to be missed! Flora & Osvaldo who own... More

This is not a recommend - this is a must-have when you want to visit Havanna and get in contact with "locals". The house is really wonderful and there´s nearly no traffic. Its close to the point of interests and... More

If you have an opportunity to stay with "Dra. Florita", you should not miss the chance! Her casa is second-to-none -- old colonial style, exceptionally well-maintained -- and her hospitality is everything you want it to be. She speaks English realtively well and for a microscopic fee ($4.50) provides a marvelous "Cubana-Americana-style" breakfast! Make no mistake, we will try to... More
