We enjoyed our stay at Casablanca Yaque B&B very much and would definitely recommend it to all! We spend a week there with most charming and friendly people we have ever met. The B&B owner, Orlando, upgraded our room to a larger one, with a private bathroom (shower and hot water!). The room was great, very clean, with an air conditioning unit and a fan. Breakfasts (optional) prepared by Maydeline were fantastic and so big that we couldn’t possibly eat it all. The location of Casablanca in old Havana is also great: only two blocks from Plaza Vieja, three blocks from the ferry wharf, etc. Practically all of the old Havana and most of the central Havana is walkable from this location (we did it and we are not spring chickens anymore). There is a good wifi connection at the house; you just need to buy an internet card from ETECSA to log in and Orlando can help you with that.
Orlando, was incredibly helpful in every situation. During our stay, some of his guests, two adventurous girls from NY, developed stomach problems and Orlando prepared them a healthy soup, so the next day they were good as new. About the same time, a German tourist arrived to Casablanca from Mexico, but his luggage was lost; Orlando helped him with a toothbrush and other necessary items. Also, prior to our departure, Orlando cook for us and the German tourist an enormous dinner of Cuban national dishes - what a host! Thank you and thank you all at Casablanca Yaque! We’ll be back!
