The casa owner, Mileidy and Armando are super friendly and able to help you with anything. Breakfast ( USD 5) has a wide variety of options, that’s includes seasonal fruits.
The WiFi isn’t working sometimes due to power outage in the area ( Not their fault).

Cute property located on a very colourful and safe street. Very close to the viazul bus station and main walking street. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Room is clean and comfortable, and the view on terrace is amazing. One of the best stays I’ve had in Cuba. Only negative is wifi is weak.

Eventhough it is a 20 min walk to the city centre and main landmarks, we were delighted to stay at Milady's place. She warmly welcomed us in her home and really made us feel like if it was ours.
She is really lovely, caring and has a shining personality. She gave us thorough information about Cienfuegos and all its attractions and points of interest.
The breakfast was finger lickin' good especially the home made cakes!
You can be sure to have a great stay here.

Milady was truly a wonderful hostess. I stayed with my husband daughter and grandson. We had the triple room which was small but nice bedding, had own bathroom and very clean. The breakfast was additional but a lot of food and home made with love. You can walk everywhere there and we felt right at home. Milady was wonderful with our 11 month old grandson and spoke great English. I highly recommend!
