Vacation rentals in River Almendares

The space was exactly as pictured. The host was tremendously responsive and hospitable. I came in knowing the hardships Cubans endure so the power outages didn’t surprise or bother me, it’s part of life in Cuba. The space is centrally located in vedado which made it easy to find restaurants, groceries, cigars and cabs. Thank you for a great stay!

My stay at Casa Mary was the best Airbnb I have ever had. I have had some bad ones in the past (Philly, i'm looking at you) but this one exceeded all expectations. Right from the start they arranged a taxi for me from the airport, greeted me at the entrance and helped me move in. The room was an awesome spanish colonial nest at the top of the house, which was clean and comfortable. If you're not a snob, this is pretty much everything you could ask for. The Family and staff that worked at the house became my little Cuban family and were so fun and kind everyday. Everyone from the cleaning staff, to the security guards, to the extended neighborhood connections are awesome, and they're genuine in their interactions. I give a big shoutout to Yaniris, who is the property manager there. She helped me with any questions or concerns and helped me out when only a local could. Everyone there are friends for life, and I hope to return to Casa Mary in the future!

This apartment is by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in. The design is spectacular with brand new high end finishes and furniture. It has triple exposures, 2 balconies and probably one of the best views of Havana. Also the service is like a 5 star hotel, only better. Excellent price/ value and highly recommended.

My stay at Zunilda’s was great. I had nothing to complain about. The loft is beautiful! Just like the pictures. I love the views of Havana and how the terrace can be wide open. I loved that I had the option of fresh air or air conditioning. The restaurants I wanted to visit were not far away. And old Havana was about 8 mins away via taxi. She made my welcome so easy with accommodating a taxi for my arrival. Zunilda also provides a phone. Which was a life savor for my boyfriend and I. Zunilda’s sister, Malaena was amazing as well; she communicated with us, gave us pointers for food and helped us with exchanging money. She also accommodated for our taxi to leave. The two things I was worried about in Cuba was having a cell phone and exchanging money, and Zunilda and Malaena provided that for us, making that worry go away. Thank you so much for having us and we shall return.

Selected this location for its proximity to Fábrica de Arte Cubano but even though the FAC was closed for remodeling we were happy to have found it. Guest area is on the second floor of a big home on the corner of the intersection of two streets with a veranda elevated above the street corner. There were lots of plants and creature comforts at this unit and the housekeeper Belkis was awesome! Though this review rates the property at five stars it's rating is intended to be relative to other properties in the area. So, even though there was some street noise in the rooms at night (nice touch providing the ear plugs) and the common area wasn't air conditioned it was still much nicer than surrounding properties. Thanks for such a nice stay and thanks again for Belkis- she's charming, thorough and attentive!

Had a great stay at Gretel & Jorge’s place. Everything was as advertised, the apartment was clean and spacious. The hosts arranged a driver to and from the airport which was super helpful, they provided the SIM cards free of charge which was critical, and also arranged for a currency exchange at a good rate. We didn’t take them up on any of the excursions as we had already arranged our own but would definitely have done it if we needed to. Overall we are extremely grateful for our hosts. Vilda was the person who met us for check in and check out and who we communicated with primarily for any day-to-day needs. We had an incident where we broke the key trying to open the front door from the inside and Vilda was there to rescue us within 15 minutes!! AC worked great, there was hot water as well. The apartment does get hot during the day but with AC it is fine - obviously if there are power outages it is tougher, but Vilda provided the schedule for the outages and we were able to adjust.

Cindy’s place was absolutely fantastic! Bright and very well ventilated flat in a very in convenient location. Was great to have an AC unit in the living room. Would def recommend and return.

A great place to stay in a great neighborhood. Very responsive host
