Take note that this place is located in a shared home! Two other couples that we spoke to there were just as shocked as we were. You do have a locked room and your own bathroom, but will need to be let into the house by a buzzer. With that said and despite the initial shock, we were pleased by the friendliness of the hosts, along with their willingness to help with our every need. The place wasn't quite as clean as we'd like, but that seems to be more of the norm with Cuba in general, than a reflection of the property itself. I see reviews complaining about the location, but a little research goes along way. I was personally content with the location as it's close to the ocean, US embassy, parks for WIFI, good restaurants and the hotel national (shows, taxi service, money exchange, food, etc). If it's the cost and views you're interested in, it's close to impossible to find another property overlooking the ocean, especially at this price. So any short falls you have with this place can easily be overlooked.
