Havana.

Casa Carmen. (Sarah Farley)

In Havana, check out Casa Carmen at Calle M No. 505 right off of Infanta & San Lazaro in the Vedado. Phone 78-5029. Carmen is great and everyone is very friendly. In Vinales, Villa El Valle at Calle Salvador Cisnero No. 81 is equally friendly and Deliam will feed you very well! Phone 93262. Ramon, "The Tobacco Master" just may roll you up some of his own personal tobacco stash! Tell them Michael sent you .

 

Hospedaje Georgina. (Sarah Farley)

Hola! I just came back from two weeks in Cuba
and had a great time, especially in Havana.
If anyone is interested in a great Cuban
hospitality experience in Havana,
'Hospedaje Georgina' is the place to stay.
I met very interesting people, had great meals,
(better than any restaurant), it was very clean,
with hot water (the only place in Cuba where I
had a hot shower), big rooms, completely legal,
the woman who runs it is great!
Her name is Georgina and her
Phone number is: (537) 29 5669
her address is:
Ave. 26 No.705 e/7ma. y 9na.
