Amelia was hands down the best host, a real homely mother feel to her, warm and welcoming and excellent local knowledge. Explained to me in exact details how to get around on the bus (you pay $5 and it is unlimited for the day and takes you on a loop, if you needed to know).
It is clear she puts in a lot of effort into running the Casa, the room was spotless, the sheets were sparkling clean. Everywhere smelt clean and it was all tidy. She also makes herself available when needed.
Also a nice balcony you could sit out on just by the bedroom doors, perfect for a quiet chill in the sunshine.
Breakfast was excellent made by her son, very tasty and plenty of it.
Room had a fridge in it, which is a nice touch, esp as it is not filled with an expensive mini bar, you can just put your own drinks in there.
Aircon worked perfectly.
Security is clearly very important for Amelia, the gate is locked, for which you are provided a key. And the doors are kept locked too (even if I couldn't remember which key was which).
If I return to Cuba I'll be hoping to stay with Amelia.
