I am a middle-aged woman, non Spanish speaker, traveling alone in Cuba. I arranged some accommodation through Pototo at Cuba Junky - a great way to do it, however, we had our wires crossed regarding Havana accommodation. When I arrived at the Viazul bus station in Havana, all I knew about my accommodation was that someone called Pepe was going to meet me. Even though I'd had no direct contact with Pepe and Ana, there he was, waiting for me! The angel!
I stayed two nights with Pepe and Ana, and agree with everything other tourists have said. Their home is very comfortable, attractive, spacious, airy, and secure (even an overnight security guard, though unnecessary, I thought. I felt no qualms at all about walking around the neighbourhood on my own). Havana is a noisy place, but the casa is on a cul-de-sac, so it's quiet. There is a market only four blocks away, a cadeca for changing money, a lovely church, and a chance to see a real Cuban neighbourhood. The casa is spotless and the meals delicious - great coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice with breakfast. Mmmmm! As an added bonus, because the casa has two large self-contained rooms for guests, I met very interesting people who were staying in the other room.
Both Pepe and Ana are lots of fun, speak pretty good English, and you honestly couldn't ask for more helpful and knowledgable hosts. Pepe let me accompany him to the market twice, arranged for a driver to take me downtown, and took me to the bus station himself when I left. I know he was going to wait the whole hour until he saw me safely off on the bus, except I told him I was okay.
Some of the interesting sights of Havana are within easy walkable distance of the casa.(the huge cemetery, Museo de Artes Decorativas, a cigar factory, John Lennon park) I walked right down 17th to the Malecon one day, visiting two sights on the same road, and ending up near the famed Hotel Nacional where you just have to have a mojito in the gardens out back overlooking the ocean. The trip back from downtown is 5-6 CUCs by taxi or coco taxi. Take a coco taxi at night. Going along the Malecon in the open air past Old Havana is fabulously romantic.
Anyway, I don't see where to rate individual aspects of my experience, but I'd give everything a 5, except location is a 4 since it's a bit far to be able to easily walk to Old and Central Havana. However, if you don't love staying with Pepe and Ana, I will be shocked! I'd go back in a flash!

If you want a stress free holiday in Cuba then stay at La Casa de Ana. The hosts, Ana and Pepe will help organize whatever it is you want to do whilst in Cuba, whether it be just hanging out in Havana or touring the country. We wanted to travel to Trinidad, Santa Clara, the Isle of Youth and Vinales and Ana and Pepe arranged everything - the buses, the plane, the taxis, the other casas particulares. We stayed at Ana and Pepe's the first few days then went to Trinidad and Santa Clara, coming back to Havana, then off to the Isle of Youth. Then a return to Havana and off to Vinales and finally back to Havana again for a few days before heading home. All in all a memorable holiday and one made even more so by such a sweet couple. The breakfasts at La Casa de Ana were filling and good, the coffee was excellent, the house clean, tidy and comfortable and one felt right at home. I do highly recommend La Casa de Ana if you are planning a trip to Havana, Cuba.

I cannot speak highly enough of Ana and Pepe and I didn't even stay with them. I was travelling with my 78 year old father but La Casa was fully booked. This didn't faze Ana - she went out of her way to find us a lovely house to stay in. Pepe met us at the airport and Ana invited us for tea. Of course I had a tour of Casa Ana for next time and when I go to Havana again it will be Casa Ana that I stay in. It's spotlessly clean, well furnished with large airy rooms. But the best part of La Casa de Ana are Ana and Pepe themselves who are quite happy to sit down with you and chat, they will recommend places to go, and generally look after you as if you were their own family. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they will do everything to make sure you enjoy your stay in Havana. I am recommending La Casa Ana to anyone who is thinking of heading to Cuba. You will not find better.

Two female friends just arrived home from Cuba this week after a fantastic stay!
We arrived to Ana and Pepe's planning to stay for just three days, but ended up spending most of our time in Cuba at their casa.
The house is everything you would need for a stay in Havana, so clean, warm or cold(whichever you need!), tons of hot water, internet, great breakfasts, extremely safe and most importantly relaxed, warm, fun and a great place to come back to after a busy day in the city...and Pepe is a great tour guide.
The casa is in Vedado, a little outside Habana Vieja and centro Habana, but, for us anyway, this was so much better than staying in old havana, a bit more of real Havana I think.
Ana and Pepe arranged our entire stay in Cuba,cars to get to the beach and havana,recommmended places to eat, they booked a tour for us to go to Vinales and a place to stay when we went to Trinidad, the bus to get us there...everything!
They were both so accomadating, friendly, and did so much for us while we were there, including providing plenty of mojitos after long days!
I can't reccommend Ana's casa highly enough, in fact I wish I was there right now!
