Apartment holiday rentals in Guanabo, La Habana del Este

This was my third vacation to La Habana and I brought a friend with me to experience the culture of Havana. I selected this Maylin’s place based on the reviews and knew it was a very desirable location. I would agree with the reviews that I read regarding Maylin’s place and really enjoyed our 9 day stay. Javier and Ivis are the onsite hosts were very kind and quick to respond to any questions or concerns – I couldn’t have asked for better attention. I communicated with google translate with no problem. It is an incredible location and the balcony overlooking Plaza Vieja that can’t be beat. You can see locals going about their daily lifes and the sounds of live Cuban music from the restaurants around the Plaza. Make sure to have your phone “unlocked” before arriving and get a Cuban SIM for connection. I hope to stay here again. Any problems we experienced are normal in Cuba and are not exclusive to this place and should not reflect negatively on our wonderful hosts.

A estadia foi maravilhosa! O atendimento foi incrível desde o início, sempre com respostas rápidas, completas e que nos ajudaram. O apartamento é confortável, tem ar condicionado no quarto, fica próximo de cafés, restaurantes, praças bastante conhecidas, centrinho de Havana. E o ponto alto foi a Leysa, que ajudou em absolutamente TUDO que precisamos e de uma maneira super gentil. Como era nossa primeira vez em Cuba, não conhecíamos algumas dinâmicas do local, como alguns locais para compras, troca de dinheiro etc. Recomendo demais esse apartamento!

My family and I had the most wonderful stay in Villa Vera. We all believed it had to be the greatest Airbnb in the city. We were given a Cuban phone which was extremely useful. Yenier's staff always responded to us right away and they gave us so many great recommendations. We did a full day beach excursion and were taken to the most gorgeous spot. The phone was also very helpful to arrange for taxis to take us where we needed to go, often at the last minute. We also made the very smart choice to have a dinner cooked by the private chef on our first night. What an absolute treat it was, the food was incredible, probably the best meal we had in Havana. Having dinner in the house is a must. The staff was extremely kind and attentive. Having wifi in the house was excellent as it can be difficult to come by internet in Havana. Overall our stay was close to flawless, and I would definitely stay in Villa Vera again.

This apartment was perfect—clean, safe, and the private balcony delivered incredible sunset views over Havana. We hitchhiked into the city (common in Cuba), and it cost $10–$15 USD to get to Centro and Habana Vieja. Armando, the property manager, was kind, responsive, and helped us prepare for the infrastructure challenges in Cuba. Electricity outages happen daily for 3–4 hours and don’t follow a strict schedule. Bring power banks (ideally with DC outlets for the WiFi). Restaurants can’t operate well during outages, bring lots of snacks like energy bars, and a water filter such as a LifeStraw. Bottled water is hard to find—Armando sells small bottles for $1. Petty theft is rising due to economic hardship, so stay alert, especially at night. We were three women and had no issues, but stayed aware and made local friends who looked out for us. Despite these challenges, Havana is vibrant, resilient, and welcoming. Tourism is vital now—don’t skip it. This is the place to stay.

Javier's place is clean and had all of the amenities we needed during our 4 night stay. The building's condition was average in the developing neighborhood of Vedado that's very close to the Malecon with spectacular sunsets. There are delicious restaurants in a walkable distance, and the Caribbean Sea can be seen to the left and Revolutionary Square to the right from the skyline balcony. Javier's team of hosts, tour guides, and taxi drivers took care of us throughout our stay, especially Eduardo who took us on a day trips to Old Havana, Saturn Cave, Mantanzas, and Veradado Beach. Great people and location in Havana!

Marcia is an amazing host, extremely friendly and responsive. The apartment amenities and decoration are top-notch, and you will find that it is better than described in the ad. It is located in the heart of Vedado.

El alojamiento se encuentra muy cerca del capitolio y ya sea de día o de noche tiene una vista espectacular desde la terraza, el wifi es bastante bueno y toda la casa tiene aire acondicionado, sin duda es un alojamiento genial, el único detalle es que hay que subir muchas escaleras pero realmente vale la pena este alojamiento.

Great place to stay with local vibe. Awesome breakfast, and hosts are kind and honest. Particular mention to Saul and Ofelia who are trustworthy and both offer superb customer service.

Maravilloso local ,una organización en todo al detalle , la vista muy Habanera en general me encantó el servicio. Les cuento de Raquel una señora muy preocupada por todo , y nos preparó unos desayunos de primera . 🥇 bueno yo me e quedado muy satisfecha al igual que mi esposo. Se los recomiendo el edificio muy limpio y el parqueo muy seguro.😊😊😊😊 Gracias Gerardo 🙏🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

El alojamiento está muy bien! La descripción y las fotos son tal cual se publican Muy cómodo y práctico Si bien está a 2 cuadras del Capitolio creemos que la ubicación no es la mejor… llegamos un domingo y estaba plagado de gente… Marcos y su pareja nos recibieron y nos dieron muchas recomendaciones locales, muy agradecidos con ellos! En todo momento fueron muy amables y estuvieron atentos a nuestras necesidades Gracias!!!

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.

tres bon logement bien situe pres de tout parfait aussi si vous avez un animal j ai meme prolonge mon sejour j adore communication facile avec Gabriel et son pere 100% recommande

¡Un lugar muy recomendable! Mi esposo y yo nos quedamos un fin de semana con nuestro perrito y la experiencia no pudo ser mejor. Janet es una gran anfitriona que nos hizo sentir en casa y nos facilitó todo para mejorar aún más la estancia. La zona de la piscina es increíble y, además, estás a unos pocos metros de la playa. Un 10/10. Volveremos sin duda.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mercy Y Felix’s beautiful condo in La Habana, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, Felix was a gracious and welcoming host—warm, helpful, and always available to answer questions or offer great local recommendations. The condo itself was absolutely stunning, spotlessly clean, stylishly decorated, and filled with natural light. The view from the balcony captured the vibrant charm of Havana, and the location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk from cultural landmarks, and authentic Cuban cafes. It felt both peaceful and perfectly connected to the energy of the city. Me Encanta La Habana, Cuba!

Super Unterkunft mit einer sehr sehr netten Gastgeberin, Wohnung war sehr schön, sauber und hatte alles was man braucht. Sie hat uns mehrere Tipps gegeben was wir unternehmen können und wie wir uns in Havanna zurechtfinden können, das war sehr hilfreich. Antwortete immer schnell. Allgemein kann ich die Unterkunft nur empfehlen. ❤️

Ernesto y su mamá son personas muy amables y siempre dispuestos de ayudar. La zona de la casa es muy tranquils. el apaetamento miy agradable.

Muchísimas gracias por su excelente atención.

One of the best stays I’ve had in central Cuba. This property was top tier and had the right Wi-Fi speed for work. The rooms were well cleaned and comfy. Thanks to my Host for making sure my stay was “Home away from home”. I will be back!

Simply spectacular! Wow! The pictures don’t do this place justice. As soon as you walk in you are overtaken by the size- it’s huge! At some moments it feels like you’re in a labyrinth and in disbelief that, “wait, there’s more?” This house is a historic structure that has carefully and pristinely maintained. The level of cleanliness and comfort have exceeded 98% of the Airbnbs (and yes, in the US) that we have stayed in (and we have stayed in really nice places). I failed to ask where the mattresses are from, but they feel as if they were intended for royalty. The decor, furniture, flooring, ceiling… everything is perfect. This could easily serve and be described as a mini museum that you get to sleep in. Cary and Felix are exceptional hosts. From the beginning, communication was constant, answered all questions we had almost instantly. As soon as we arrived, they were incredibly welcoming, making us feel like family. They truly want you to enjoy the experience and make you feel li

I'll be going back. I tried two different apartments they have listed... right next door to each other. both are great. private and very secure. Can't wait to go back! Volveré. Probé dos apartamentos diferentes que tienen en oferta... uno al lado del otro. Ambos son geniales, privados y muy seguros. ¡No puedo esperar a volver!

Words are not enough to express our gratitude for the experience we had in this beautiful apartment! The apartment itself gorgeous, very spacious and extremely well decorated. We loved every detail! There were terraces and views in every direction! Breakfast on the terrace upstairs every morning was delicious and stunning! And pool was wonderful for our tired bodies and feet that danced all day and night. And July, our host was absolutely the best!!!! He was so sweet, helpful and accommodating!! We will be back for sure!!

One of the best airbnb's we ever had! Perfect location, nice restaurants and shops closeby and very close to the centre of Havana. The appartment is perfect, lots of space, great wifi, big kitchen with espresso machine! The best is the rooftop with different terraces where you can relax in the jacuzzi and sit comfortable during day and night with a drink and nice view of the sea and the city! Yoanne and Azaray are the best, they are always available for help and tips. We will come back for sure!

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Maria. Elle nous a donné de très bons conseils L appartement est parfait et très bien situé

Amazing space! KC took care of us from start to finish from ordering us taxes, find good rates for us and just being available for any mishap we experienced. She was super accommodating and responsive to any question or request we had. Our breakfast was wonderful everyday we had it ordered. Book the space if you’re unsure of how to navigate Havana, she will handle it!
