Located within easy walking distance of Havana Viejo, the Malacon and the popular shopping street, Obispo, the home of Maura's friends also on Refugio was a perfect location for our first visit to Havana, Maura, unfortunately could not accommodate us and a couple of friends during the Easter week so she reserved two rooms for us at the home of...

We stayed 2 nights at Maura's in April. The location is great to explore Habana Viejo and is near the Malecon. Maura is a very warm person and she really made an effort to make sure our trip was going well. The breakfast was excellent, the room and bath were very nice. Thanks Maura for the recommendation to the Castropol... More

The house is located about 15 - 20 minute walk to the Havana Vieja and 2 minutes from the Paseo de Marti. The location comes with a price of some noise that can be heard in the room. In house dining is not something Maura keenly offers. She's frank about it, which I really appreciate. However she would still prepare... More

We just came back from a week vacation in Cuba, at first we tried to book at Maura's house but it was fully booked. She referred us to a house a half a block from hers and made sure we had two days at least at her house. She booked a cab to pick us up from the airport, despite... More

She was not able to host us for our entire stay in Havana but she arranged for us to stay at Casa Hilda y Alejandro (see my other review of their house), which... More

I have just returned from a 15 day vacation in Cuba. It was my first trip to Cuba and I travelled alone. As such, I was quite nervous about my accommodations, and their location. I started communicating with Maura, who quelled my fears and went out of her way to find alternate accommodation for me for the days that she... More

Maura didn't have any room but recommended her friend's Tere's place. We tried it for 2 nights. The hosts were welcoming and we managed to communicate through pigeon English and pigeon Spanish. The house is so central near the old town and we felt safe there - walking home at night. The breakfast was amazing and although the accommodation was... More

The apartment is quiet and secure, clean, comfortable, good shower, excellent home cooking. Maura took trouble to advise us about visiting Havana, and made a... More
