Yachira and Yani were extremely accommodating, and super helpful in allowing me to explore their country. They were very willing to connect with their friends for guest houses and taxis.

Yachira and her mom are amazing! They instantly make you feel welcome and a part of the home. If you're looking to learn about Cuban lifestyle, culture, and art, this is the perfect opportunity. The house is really comfortable and clean, the food was delicious, and the location is great. They are super laid-back and flexible, more focused on sharing ideas and culture rather than following a rigid work schedule (the work is basically nonexistent). Yachira is the best tour guide of the city and took me around to all the amazing sites, making things so much easier to navigate. Highly recommend!

Yani, Thony, and Anthony are fantastic! Yachira makes sure you feel welcomed and her mom's food is simply the best! Havana is incredible and the opportunity gives you a lot of flexibility to explore it.

Very unique and good experience in a historic city and country. The house and the work in right in the center of Havana. The host provides great food, and takes you around to show the great city. Superfun experience overall

Gracias Fred, cariñosamente el rubio cubano. Te adaptaste rápido a cualquier circunstancia incluso a nuestros apagones. Te hemos bautizado el chico más entusiasta y alegre. Ya conoces toda La Habana en bicicleta. Hermoso conocerte. Buenas vibras y mucha suerte amigo.

I would definitely recommend the guest house, as its a perfect way to get to experience, see, understand Cuban life and culture. Just arriving in this country can be challenging, so its amazing to be surrounded by helpful and lovely locals to show you around (both practically and culturally). Both the guest house as Yanis house are located in the vivid Centro Habana, which is an amazing area to live. I lived in both, but had a preference for the guest house (cleaner, more spacious, and wifi that worked during blackouts). The work at the farm was sometimes a bit non-existent, but chill.
