Casa Colonial La Terraza, Dra Nora Esquivel
Good location in Centro Havanna, about 10-15 min by foot from old town in a safe area, two blocks from the malecon. Very reasonable price! Rooms are sparkling clean, with own bathroom, hot water, aircon, TV, fridge. You can have breakfast or simply relax after a busy day on the beautiful terrace. Excellent meals are available on request, breakfast includes large fruit platter, fresh juice, coffee, bread, butter, jam, eggs, basically more than you could ask for!
When I arrived at night in Casa Colonial la Terraza, I was so pleased to be welcomed by Nora and her family, they are a lovely bunch of people who made me feel at home. Nora's sister and husband live upstairs, so there is always someone around should you need any help. They really take good care of their guests, gave me all sorts of information and called around for me in order to organize salsa classes.

Casa Colonial La Terraza
We visited Cuba for a week in December 2009.
Initially I was a little nervous to book in this location because I had read that the area, La Habana Centro, might be a little rough. However we decided to take the chance because the location was perfect - walking distance to Old Havana, the Malecon, and Vedado.
Well, I'm SO glad we took a chance! We LOVED this Casa and the whole family and especially Nora. She is absolutely the nicest lady and was willing to help in any way she could. When we arrived she gave us a great introductory talk warning us about potential hassles and also telling us nice places to see. She gave us her card with a phone number to call her on at absolutely any time. She was so friendly it really made our stay special.
Our room was great, very clean, nice and private and we had our own wonderful terrace to sit on with a book or a drink.
We ate breakfast every day and it was wonderful . We HIGHLY recommend this Casa!
Casa style: Fantastic hosts, Comfertable, Colonial, Cozy, Hidden gem
Amenities: Airconditioning, Private bathroom, Balcony
How was your room?: Very private, very, very clean, private bathroom and terrace, very nice! We loved our room.
How was the food the offer?: We only tried breakfast but it was delicious and we had it every day that we stayed.
Other services they offer: Nora is willing to help out with any advice for things to do and see in Havana and other places around Cuba. She was a wonderful source of information and helped us out in any way that she could.
Other comments: It was really the family that made this place....and the location and the room. We really enjoyed our experience because of Nora and her whole extended family.

Casa La Terraza
At the beginning and ending from our roundtrip through Cuba we stayed at Nora's place.
We can say this is a casa with the most friendly people we met in Cuba! The rooms are big and clean and nothing is too much for the owners!
It is a nice place in Centro Habana (Habana Vieja is a good walk only 20 minutes from the casa) to spend some time.

Casa La Terraza, Nora y Mesa
We can think of no better place to stay in Havana than with Nora in her beautiful Casa Colonial.
We felt almost part of the family from the moment we arrived and had a great time talking with Nora and her family.
She gave us great information about Havana and helped us find another Casa in Trinidad for which we will write a separate recommendation.
The room had its own bathroom and living room with refrigerator and AC, and there is a cosy terrace were you can have your meals if you want - which we recommend.
The breakfast and dinner used only the best ingredients like lots of fresh fruits and Cubas excellent seafood
The casa is right in the middle of Havana Centro, with Malecon and Havana Vieja within walking distance.
All in all, we would give this casa 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to anyone.
PS: Just an advice - owners of Casa Particulares pay many taxes every month, regardless of whether they have guests or not. Therefore, remember to treat the Casa owners with courtesy - for instance by remembering to cancel your booking in case you can't make it, and by not trying to haggle over the prices. It is great value for money anyway.

Casa La Terraza
I've recently been to Cuba (2 weeks. First time) and would like to describe my extraordinary pleasant experience:
First positive thing was to rent a casa particular. Cuban people impressed me a lot, they are warm, helpful and despite the insufficient English knowledge of some people, you don’t feel any lack of communication.
I loved the family I rented the apartment from. Nora, the owner, speaks English very well and gave me hints about Havana places and history.
I spent 2 days in Varadero beach and 2 in Trinidad and they help me to fix the accommodation in both places.
I strongly recommend this house
