Mabel’s House - Havana, Cuba

if you need anything Mabel will help you, if she can. she is the best

Miss Mabel is good to take care everything concerning our traveling. She calls taxi for us to buy tickets and go to air port. She is good for English for communications. One thing is the location is rather not easy to find out as the flat is in interior block of building. The breakfast and dinner is good to taste and quantity is sufficient at reasonable price.

Mabel was always very friendly and quick to help and even organized a taxi to collect us from the airport. We always felt like we were in good hands! In the end we were placed in a different apartment just around the corner due to a last minute plumbing issue but were delighted with the accommodation and the very friendly hosts. In terms of the location - it's great, so long as you enjoy a good stroll. We enjoyed the distance from Habana Vieja, as it gave us chance to explore a different area of the city and gave us a nice break from the masses of fellow tourists. Thanks for all of your help Mabel! You gave us the perfect start to our Cuban adventure!

I cannot say good things about Mabel's House, between the location and the hospitality, I was well taken care of. And the breakfast morning every morning, I've never eaten so well in my life.

Very far away from any sights, incl Old Havana. Must take transport to go anywhere. No restaurants or shops close by, pure residential area. Apartment size and facilities ok to what you pay. Could get a better matress and pillows. Quite

I had the pleasure to stay at Mabel's House, Havana, Cuba on the 27/28 February 2016. I was able to maintain contact with Mabel before I arrived and also by telephone whilst in Cuba. The Casa was easy to find and is in a nice area on a quiet street. There are some shops nearby. The Casa is about 2.5 km from "Old Town", which is a 40 min walk, but there are plenty of taxis available. The Casa is well located though for other sights, like the Revolution Square, which is nearby. The Casa was clean and there is plenty of space. The is also air con if required. Mabel met me on arrival and explained everything and how to turn on the gas for water heating etc. Breakfast was provided by Belkis, a lovely neighbour from upstairs and it was delicious and perfect every day. Lunch and dinner is also available at the Casa if you wish it. This Casa is for the travellers own use. You have full access and can come and go as you please. I would recommend staying at this Casa and would return again. Thanks Mabel and Belkis.

We stayed at Mabel's for a couple of days and we loved it so much we came back twice more! The location is slightly far out but you have your own apartment and help from the wonderful belky... Honestly, she made our stay and is such a lovely, kind woman!! Really recommend!

The house is cute and neat. Did not meet Mabel but Balkies is super sweet

Our stay at Mabel's house was wonderful. We were greeted Mabel's neighbor Belky who made us feel very welcome. She also prepared a wonderful breakfast for us the following morning. Mabel met us the next morning and told us exactly where to go to get exchange money and set up a cab to pick us up and take us to the bus stop. Great host and great apartment. I would recommend it!

very nice staff - Mabel helps you with anything

Very nice lady, dropped off in the evening then next day went to my group hotel in Old Havana. Fully equipped for self catering.

This is a very interesting place. Mabel is very useful, it found us Taksim 3.00 am.

I actually stayed with Anna Maria, Mabel's friend around the corner, but met Mabel when I was organising the next part of my travels to Vinales. She was lovely and Anna Maria and her family were wonderful. The breakfast was great and everyone was caring and helpful. Anna Maria was even waiting on my last night to ensure I got home safely. The price was really honest and, unlike in Trinidad or Vinales, everyone wanted to help me have a good time in Havana rather than want to earn more from my stay. The room was simple but nice with a lovely patio outside. An excellent stay all round!

Mabel is a lovely lady and was very helpful, not just at her house, but throughout my month travelling in Cuba.

Good price, rather good location, friendly householder Mabel, tasteful breakfast and, of course, lunch and dinner if you like. Taxi to airport. Good choice for travelers without pathos.

If you ever come to Havana stay here. The host is the kindest, friendliest most helpfull person. The place is nice, the food that was prepared was great. I would recommend to anyone.

Staying at Mabel's was great. We had the apartment to ourselves but Mabel came by at least once a day to clean and make sure everything was alright. Belkis (a neighbor) provides amazing breakfasts and dinners. Located in Vedado about 10-15 min walk from most of Havanas clubs, but about a 30-40 min walk from the main touristy area around the capitol and Vieja. MUCHO recommended!

Mabel really saved our stay in Habana. We didn't have a guidebook, and it is impossible to find one in Cuba, so it was awesome to be able to ask Mabel all we needed to know (she even speaks English). The first day when we came she didn't open her door when we rang the bell. I think it is because the bell only works at times. So if this happens to you, try talking to the other people who live in the building. They know her, and we even found one who had Mabel´s phone number.
