that comment you made is not true because we were waiting for you at the accommodation until 12 at night and you never arrived, we also wrote to you and you did not reply to us to know what time you would arrive at the accommodation, in addition to the entrance door to the building you have the bell of the apartment, and there is always a person next to the door of the building waiting for the guests who arrive, you also have all our contact telephone numbers by which you could have communicated with us in case you arrived at dawn because we We spent the whole day waiting for you and you never arrived, if you made a mistake in the address of the accommodation or had some other inconvenience for which you could not arrive, it is not fair that you put that evaluation because I repeat, we were waiting for you until 12 at night and you never arrived you do not know what the accommodation is like or the services that

Many stairs to go up and they don’t offer you nothing only if you ask a tiny cup of coffee

Response from Cecilia on May 6, 2022
On the page it is specified that the house is on the second floor, it is a colonial house from 1927 and it is also specified that there are stairs, information that is visible to all guests who want to book, we are very sorry that you base your evaluation on the stairs , knowing when you booked that they had them, and also arrived the night before your reservation to inspect the house and despite the stairs you booked two additional nights when your initial reservation was only one night, in addition to the coffee that we offer and that you demands, we offered it to you all the time for free, I think that the evaluation that you make does not correspond to the comment that you put on the page, and if your stay was not pleasant, it is incongruous that you reserved 3 more nights

Response from Cecilia on May 7, 2022
That comment that you maintain is not true, you and your son reserved first for one night, and the night before your reservation you came to check if you liked the house and personally verified that there were stairs to access the house as specified in the page, and the house they loved, in addition their room was cleaned daily and daily their towels were also changed because they were delivered stained, as well as the sheets to dress the bed, as well as toilet paper on the floor of the room that we had to pick up, and the tennis shoes that were left at the door of the corridor of the house, whose bad smell bothered the rest of the guests who were in the house. In addition, they do not refer to the bottles of water that we give them completely free and that cost us money, nor to the night they woke us up at 1:30 in the morning to ask us to give them water to drink because they had not bought and to request that we lend them internet, which we did and we helped them at that time of the morning, to which I remind you, we are not obligated and we have to pay for the internet. Regarding coffee, in Cuba we are used to drinking espresso, so every morning we offered coffee for free, only in Cuba we drank it very strong and in a small cup, however we did it in a pleasant way so that they felt more comfortable in the house but I remind you here that we are not obliged to give you and your son free coffee every morning, or sometimes at noon since they got up late, because it is not part of the services, and on many occasions we expected almost at noon to make them coffee because they hadn't gotten up. However, if you felt this way, we do not understand why you booked two additional nights than you had booked in the first place, we are very disappointed that you did not express that opinion in the accommodation and until the last moment you left in the that they were helped with the suitcases to get them up and down, to help their son who, according to him, could not with his suitcases, and coffee was prepared for them, they have not expressed this opinion and will wait to put a comment like this on the page, which affects our page. All the attentions that we had with you, do not correspond to the opinion that you express in your comment and I will put this comment so that it is public so that other hosts who host them can see it and so they can be alert, it seems that it is their way to stay in the houses because they arrived the night before their lodging very late at night because they had had problems at Mrs. Carmen's house.

Exceptional Hospitality
If you are thinking about booking this Case, just do it. The location is exceptional, the area is safe and Ceci and her family make Havana accessible to foreigners. I cannot recommend this place enough. The room is private, clean and has air con. It is the perfect jumping off point to visiting Havana.

If you are heading to Old Havana this Casa is excellent to stay at, Ce Ce and her family are wonderful hosts they cannot do enough for you, yes its basic but it has all that you need a comfortable clean bed and a working bathroom, the cleanliness is outstanding,I'm a travel agent and only usually stay 5* but will definitely stay here again if I ever go back, you're 2 blocks from the central of Old Havana but its extremely safe and the area is excellent... I cannot stress enough how welcoming and accommodating the owners are... THANK YOU for a wonderful end to a wonderful trip to Cuba

Boa acomodação, mas se prepare para as escadas
A acomodação é confortável e possui boa infra estrutura. O atendimento é excelente, a família é muito cordial e nos ajudou em tudo que precisávamos. O café da manhã é muito gostoso. Estávamos com nosso filho de 1 ano e 10 meses e ele ficou bem instalado. A localização é bem central e de muito fácil acesso aos locais mais emblemáticos de Havana Vieja. O único problema foram as escadas. O apartamento fica bem no alto o que apesar de ser o segundo andar corresponde ao quarto andar. Eles nos ajudaram com as malas mas pra quem tem problema de mobilidade não é a acomodação mais indicada.

Hola Priscila, nos alegra mucho que se haya sentido bien en la casa, nuestro objetivo es que disfruten su estancia y se sientan como en casa, lamentamos mucho que las escaleras hayan influido en nuestra evaluación, reflejamos en la página que la casa se encuentra en un segundo piso, pero como es una construcción de 1927 y los techos son tal altos influye en que sea un poco más alto que los techos modernos, es una peculiaridad de las casas coloniales y los edificios del centro histórico acá en la Habana Vieja, no obstante hemos recibido muchísimos huéspedes en nuestra casa incluido una señora de 87 años que subía y bajaba muchísimas veces las escaleras, todo depende de la persona, y siempre ayudamos a los huéspedes con la subida de sus equipajes

Éramos un grupo de 7 pax, en colonial house tuvimos una habitación para 3 pax y en la casa de enfrente tuvimos 2 habitaciones para 4 pax, el trato recibido por Carmen y Alex de la casa de enfrente fue espectacular, éramos parte de su familia. Nos ayudaron en todo y más. Era mi segunda vez en la havana y e de decir que lo que esta pareja nos mostró fue increíble.. no tengo palabras para definir a estas dos increíbles personas. Colonial house que fue la casa alquilada a través de expedía también nos trató bien. Pero al no estar alojados en colonial house solo puedo hablarles del alojamiento de Doña Carmen.

No podemos sentirnos más agradecidos con Teresa y su familia. Nosotros nos hospedamos en la casa de Carmen, en la casa de en frente, y es sin duda el mejor lugar donde nos hemos hospedado . Somos viajeros habituales, y estas dos familias y sus casas nos han hecho sentir cómodos, seguros y felices. Las instalaciones son maravillosas, nosotros nos quedamos en una habitacion triple privada con nuestro ensuite baño. Con aire acondicionado, minibar, televisión y agua caliente. Nos trataron como a Reyes y por el mejor precio. Jamás recomendaríamos otro lugar. Un 10. Gracias Teresa, Carmen, Alex y los hijos te Teresa por el cariño, la ayuda y el magnífico servicio.

Sehr gut war der freundliche Empfang, die Herzlichkeit sowie das Bemühen der Gastgeber. Sowohl die Tochter, die alles am Zimmer und der Wohnung erklärte, ständig erreichbar war, wie auch die Mutter, die sich liebevoll um uns während des Frühstücks kümmerte, ist lobenswert. Auch die Verständigung war kein Problem, da die Tochter englisch spricht, und die Mutter sich mithilfe der Übersetungshilfe ihres Smartphones zu verständigen wusste. Unser Zimmer verfügte nicht nur über einen an der Wand befestigten starken Ventilator, sondern auch über eine geräuscharme Klimaanlage. Desweiteren befand sich ein mit Getränken gefüllter Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Etwas problematisch war das Rinnsal, das lediglich aus dem Wasserhahn im Waschbecken floss. Um mehr Wasserdruck zu haben, benutzten wir die Dusche, aus der allerdings auch nur kaltes Wasser kam. Das in der Zimmerbestätigung zugesagte kostenlose Willkommensgetränk blieb leider aus, was aber durch die vorhandene Freundlichkeit mehr als wett gemacht wurde. Wer dieses Zimmer bucht (Colonial House besteht zur Zeit nur aus einem Zimmer !!), sollte allerdings folgendes wissen: Das Zimmer befindet sich im dritten Stock, zu erreichen über ein enges Treppenhaus. Anstrengend. Google Maps gibt im übrigen auch einen falschen Standort an, die Nummer 106 der Straße "Corrales" befindet sich zwischen den Straßen "Cárdenas" und "Cienfuegos", also sehr zentral in direkter Nähe zum Capitolo. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner und familiärer Aufenthalt.
