| "I initially booked the room for three nights, but ended up staying 8 days. Very cozy and traditional Cuban atmosphere, impeccable room and best location, two blocks away from the central plaza. The family makes you feel like you are one of them. Bonus - they have an amazing collection of old movies." andres r, ta, 040213 | |||||
