I don't even know where to start with this review. I just got home today from Cuba and I cannot express how lucky I was to find this family for my stay. I ventured to Cuba solo and would have been absolutely lost without Carlos, Ilona, Yeni, Lumi and Estephanie. What a beautiful family they are!
Carlos goes to work early in the morning but can and will very easily bring you fresh fruit every morning! His stand is right across the street if you need fresh fruit and vegetables for cooking. He's also able to get meat and fish if you need as well, you just have to ask! 
Ilona took me under her wing and treated me just like family! She cooked for me, did my make up for the Discoteka, gave me fashion advice and even helped me practice my Spanish! Yeni was a wonderful host as well, knowing all the best places to go. She even connected me with her friends that spoke English, to give my brain a break.
The house was beautifully renovated with private entrances and all the amenities you could need! The beach is a VERY short walk, with three different beaches available and food and a bar at one. Theres a bus stop directly outside of the house, taxis regularly and Eduardo is very helpful with rides as well, as long as you give him a heads up.
If you want to stay somewhere that gives you a true sense of who the Cuban people are, this is your stop. I will be visiting again VERY soon!

How was your room?: Clean, large, well decorated and cared for. Also has AC.

How was the food they offer?: Fresh fruit and vegetables available!
