The host Ivan and his wife Albis welcomed me as if I was coming home. They offered me coffee and tea and gave me lots of suggestions about places to see and how to get around. The apartment itself was large, well equipped cool and quiet. Lots of hot water, comfortable bed, even some water and beer in the fridge. Amazing in every way. It’s close to the Plaza de la Revolution, the University of Havana, the hip restaurants on Calle 23, and a short taxi ride from Old Havana.
