We loved "Private rooms Otto y Mylena" and staying in the Vedado neighbourhood. We were encouraged by the excellent reviews at Airbnb and TripAdvisor but the experience itself exceeded our expectations. We booked for 5 nights, but stayed for 11. It was that good! The breakfast on the balcony every morning was a highlight, and we spent many evenings on the balcony enjoying the sunsets and the cool evening breezes. The hospitality was amazing, and it's not surprising that Otto and Mylena received the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 2017.
How was your room?: Excellent, roomy and comfortable with direct access to the balcony.
How was the food they offer?: Breakfast: fresh, plentiful and delicious. Other services they offer: Tourist advice on what to see, where to eat, and how to get around. An informative pamphlet on nearby services and amenities. Booking of casa particular accommodation and shared taxi to other provinces. Answering our many questions about Cuba.
Other comments: Highly recommended. I'll be telling all my friends to look no further when booking accommodation in Havana.

Casa Mylena y Otto
My review: Great area - wonderful, friendly, helpful hosts. Vedado is the best place to stay in Havana, away from the frenetic tourism of the old town, but near enough to visit it. Great colonial architecture, plenty of restaurants and bars, music and culture. Otto's English is really good, he and Mylena recommended good places to visit and to eat. Mylena helped us out by arranging our next accommodation when we decided to stay on a few days in Havana. The food is excellent - fruits of all kinds, breads, eggs as you like them and fantastic coffee. If I go back to Havana I would not hestitate to stay with them again.
How was your room?: Clean, spacious and air conditioned.
How was the food they offer?: Great breakfast - fruits, breads, eggs and as much excellent coffee as you want.
Other services they offer: Recommendations for visits, restaurants, bars, music etc
Other comments: They are warm and friendly people - great conversation.

Casa Mylena y Otto
My review: I've traveled to Cuba on two occasions and both times I made sure to stay with Mylena and Otto when visiting Havana.
The first time I booked with them, it was because of the great reviews I read about them on other websites. I can confirm that they were right.
Mylena and Otto are wonderful people and true ambassadors for their city. They are English-speaking, friendly, helpful and sincerely want their guests to have the best possible stay in Havana. The apartment is perfect - clean, safe and central to the many things to see in the city. It is located in the Vedado district, a beautiful mansion-filled neighbourhood reminiscent of the old splendor of the city. I'd argue that Vedado is the true center of Havana as it is situated between many of the cultural attractions outside of the tourist-dominated district of La Habana Viejo (or Old Havana which you can still visit in a 25 minute walk or inexpensive taxi ride).
I plan to visit Cuba again and when I do, I will also look forward to staying my friends Mylena and Otto. I recommend you do the same!
