The house is located between Viazùl pullman station and Parque Cespedes.

The casa is fully licensed with a "bed and breakfast" and a restaurant license:
The house has 3 bedrooms for rent:
- bedroom 1 : 1 bed for 2 persons, conditioned air and electric fan and 1 independent bathroom with warm water.
- bedroom 2 : 1 bed for 2 persons, conditioned air and electric fan and 1 independent bathroom with warm water.
- bedroom 3 : 3 beds for 4 persons, conditioned air and electric fan and 1 independent bathroom with warm water
All the bedrooms are in the house where all the family live, eat and sleep.
There is only one (shared) entrance to the house.

Prices: Rooms cost from 15 to 25 Peso Convertible (CUC) per night.
Meals: breakfast CUC2/3, lunch and dinner CUC 6/8.

The hosts, who are between 40 and 50 years old, are Carlos and Rebecca, a very good cook.
Ask Rebecca especially for her "langosta en salsa" and her "camarones en grille".
There is more though: you can try a lot of others exquisites dishes.
Ask Carlos for his "puerco asado" (meat) or his "pargo asado" (fish).

The rooms are cleaned on a daily basis and sheets are changed frequently.
You can have your clothes washed an ironed without any problem.
The house has also a "patio", a living room with television, video-recorder and hi-fi.

If you need a bicycle, Carlos can rent you 2 Chinese / Russian "flyers" for 2$ per day.
The house has many furnishings and objects of the colonial age and is listed in the Lonely Planet guide.
For bookings, let me help you: I call Mercedes' family about every day.

They are in daily contact with taxi drivers: for example Josè Martì Airport La Habana - Trinidad usually costs 25 CUC by taxi.
