Casa Marlen

My review:The Casa is relatively central and easy walking distance from the city centre. Rooms are clean and tidy. They have a lovely courtyard where we had our breakfasts and dinner. This also turned into a salsa studio for my dance lessons in the afternoon. Very friendly and helpful people. We were there over a weekend. Weekends they close Ave Garzon and you are right where the party is at and amongst the locals. If you want/need sleep, this will be a problem though.

How was your room?: Spacious, clean and tidy with en-suite facilities. Clean towels.

How was the food they offer?: Excellent food. Way too much (Cuban style) and always fresh and delicious.

Other services they offer: I asked Marlen if she could refer me to a good salsa teacher and she made all the arrangements. I had 4 private lessons in her courtyard with Yoaris - a professional dance teacher at the university. Highly recommended.
