One of the main reasons I booked this place are all the reviews raving about how helpful Karlita is in giving recommendations for Havana. While she was pleasant, we didn't really get any recommendations from her. She told us a few helpful things, but nothing specific... so it wasn't anything special. We were a little disappointed by that. Her staff... More

I have stayed at Casa Karlita twice on two different trips in 2006 and 2011. I have found the food to be excellent for breakfast and dinner. They generally do not provide lunches, but can help you orient yourself to find food nearby. The second trip, I brought my son who was 11 at the time. He was loved up... More

We arrived at the Casa around 4PM on a Thursday afternoon. Three of us were traveling and Karlita had 2 bedrooms ready for us with 3 beds. They have a full staff ready to help 24 hours a day. Karlita gave us a handful of tips on how to conserve money and avoid being swindled by tourist tricks. I would... More

The house is located in Vedado, 30 min. walk from old Havana or 5 min. by taxi. It is a typical Cuban casa, the outside of the building looks scary, but once you are in it is quite and nice. The fact that you share a bathroom is not a burden and the room is spacious. Karlita is very friendly... More

I reserved this casa before my trip to Cuba, and I booked for five nights. The owner confirmed me two rooms by email. I even booked a dinner for our group at the casa since we will arrive in Havana by late flight. What happened is when I arrived there, only a lady who doesn't understand English at all asked... More

My wife and I stayed at Casa Karlita for 2 nights in February. Room was clean - shared bathroom- with a decent bed and furnishings. We did have to ask for towels as they, apparently, are not normally supplied. Breakfast was great- fresh juices and fruit, ham eggs and coffee. Location was close to the University and Havana Libre/ Hotel... More

Carlita was as kind as ever with us. This is the third time that my wife and I visited Cuba and we decided to visit Carlita's house every morning. We stayed in another 'casa particular' located downstairs, but we used to go up every morning for b'fast. In a nutshell, the b'fast tasted better every morning, Carla and her staff... More

I strongly recommend this place - it was our first time in Habana, and we had reserved a room for 2 days. However, considering how much we loved it there, we chose to expand our stay at Karlita's to the entire trip. People were super friendly and helpful (without ever being annoying) and made us feel like family. The place... More

Karlita and her staff where excellent. The place is very clean and comfortable. All room have air-conditioning and high ceilings. The only set back is the shower, which has very little water pressure.
