It was a pleasure getting to Alex's casa. First of all, once we booked the room he immediately contacted us to make sure we understand how and when to arrive. Alex was kind and helpful, guiding us how to best manage ourselves, as we didn't plan properly and didn't have cash with us, he also helped us acquire the necessary amount in Cuban Pesos so we can enjoy our stay. Furthermore, we asked to leave our luggage and Alex was happy to assist and even offer to leave us the room if no one will book it. Beside the pleasure of having such a wonderful host, the house itself is magnificently beautiful - an old colonial house in the beautiful and lively Vedado, a few steps from the John Lennon park and the Submarino Amerillo pub. It's within a walking distance from Plaza la Revulucion, many restaurants and La Rampa. If you're going to Havana, do yourselves a favor and stay at Alex's in Villa Carmita. It's the best option!

The owner offered to change USD to Peso, saying he was an honest man and there were lots of dodgy people on the street changing counterfit peso. He said the bank rate was 110 and he would give us 200. He told us to always come to Alex to change money. Later we foind the shop next door was exchanging for 250 and this was the rate used everwhere. He ripped us off.

A Very Nice Place!

I enjoyed my stay at Villa Carmita. The owners went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and to answer questions I had about restaurants, transportation and local attractions.
Villa Carmita is one block from John Lennon Park.

It was my first night in Cuba, after a long trip. I felt really secure and comfortable, the room was clean, with air-conditioning, very important. I had a good night sleep. Alex was very welcoming and helpful with everything, he helped me with money exchange and getting a taxi to my next destination. I highly recommend Villa Carmita for a stay in la Habana.

Villa Carmita is wonderfully situated within walking distances of major avenues and boulevards where there is so much to see and do in El Vedado. Alex and his family are warm, welcoming and were very attentive to my needs. The room and the common areas are kept spotlessly clean at all times and my room was cleaned daily. Bathroom facilities were excellent with sufficient hot water. The only downside is the weak and, too often, unavailable wifi connection that was a constant source of stress. Many thanks to Alex and his family for their warm hospitality during my stay.

The casa is clean and well-maintained. Alex, the owner, is very helpful and makes sure we have what we need. Room has aircon, fan and hot shower. Wifi, water and laundry services are available at a fee. It’s better to change Cuban pesos with Alex, compared to outside, as he gives good exchange rates and is more legit. Neighbourhood feels safe to walk around even at night. A few eateries in the vicinity, and even more if you go 5-10mins by taxi. Highly recommended to stay here!

A beautiful house in Vedado with a fantastic host

Ale was a fantastic host. He was super helpful even before we arrived, over WhatsApp. The house is beautiful and in great condition. It is in a great location in Vedado, right near the Parque John Lennon. The area has a lot of beautiful colonial architecture but not many are in the good condition of Villa Carmita. On Ale’s recommendation, we had a drink at the top of the Union Francesa building just around the corner at sunset which had a lovely view and good cheap food & drink. We walked through Vedado to the Malecon via the historic hotels Habana Libre and Nacional. We stayed in Habana Vieja (old town) at the start of our trip and this felt like a better insight into life in the city than the touristic centre, while also being a safe and attractive neighbourhood.
