La Casa de Magaly está localizada en pleno centro de la vieja Habana, muy cerca de muchos lugares de interés, tales com el Capitolio, el parque central y la plaza vieja. Allí tuvimos todas las comodidades para hacer nuestra estadía muy placentera; aire acondicionado, baño privado, tremendo desayuno preparados por Marbelis y hasta dos bellos balcones. Lo único que no puede ofrecer es internet, pero hay que entender que eso escasean en toda Cuba. Su hija Leydiana nos recibió muy bien e inmediatamente nos dió un mapa con lugares de interés ya marcados. Lo mejor de todo es que ella nos recomendó un taxista de confianza muy bueno con quien recorrimos otras ciudades. Se las recomiendo. Nos quedamos con ganas de volver a Cuba! We had a great experience at Magaly's House. It is close to many nice sights within Old Havana such as the Capitol, the central park and the Old Square. The place offers everything one needs to make one's stay very pleasant; AC, functioning bathrooms, a very filling breakfast and two balconies with nice views of Old Havana. There's no internet, but one has to understand that such is already extremely scarce in Cuba. Leydiana had a map ready for us when we arrived, with many sites already marked. She even recommended us an extremely reliable driver who took us to other cities in Cuba. I fully recommend her place. We can't wait to go back to Cuba!

Great location, great apartment, and overall great stay. Everyone was great except the listing said that someone would speak English at our location but no one did. The woman upstairs was very sweet and a huge help with taxis, reservations, etc and we made due in Spanish, but it would have been easier if someone spoke English like the listing said.

This place is a gem! The host is sweet and wonderful. She made us the most amazing breakfasts every day on our stay - the coffee was the best we had in all of Cuba! The check in was easy and the cab arranged for us at the airport was the perfect way to go! We stayed for several nights and then decided to stay there again on our return through Havana. The apartment was clean and neatly appointed. The location of the apartment was ideal. Close enough to all the tourist things to see, but in a residential area where we could get a feel for Cuban life. The balcony was our absolute favorite thing. We felt very safe. Magaly also arranged a cab for us to take to Trinidad that worked out wonderfully. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone traveling to Havana! We hope to stay there again some time.

Leydiana's home was amazing! The location was perfect. We were in the heart of Old Havana and were able to walk everywhere! The apartment is updated with a flat screen TV in the living room, beautiful bathrooms, and mini refrigerators in both bedrooms. Bedrooms also have locks on the doors so there was never fear of anything happening to our stuff. (Havana is very safe so we didn't really worry about things like theft anyway.) The apartment had 2 beautiful balconies where you could see the Capital Building. On one of the days we were there, Leydiana cooked breakfast for my group of 4 and it was delicious! It was a great authentic Cuban meal. Although my Spanish isn't so good and their English isn't so good we were still able to somehow communicate with each other with no issues. On our last day she set up taxi's to take us back to the airport which was great because we had to be at the airport at 5:45am and that was one less thing we had to worry about. Overall our experience was great and I will definitely stay at Leydiana's home again when I go back to visit soon!

We really enjoyed our stay. The view of Old Havana from the balconies is beautiful. The breakfasts are as good as other reviewers have described. Our hostess worked with us despite a language barrier to arrange a driver for a great day trip through Vinales. The two bedrooms are cooled by AC window units. One worked really well. The second struggled a little. But even in the hot tests part of the summer the fans and open air made the heat tolerable. The location is perfect, smack in the middle of Old Havana. Bring chess pieces, and take them to Playa Del Cristo a couple blocks away, and the local kids will be eager for a game.

Very clean very central safe apartment

What a wonderful place for a family with small children to stay! We were right in the middle of the action but it was quiet enough and cool for sleeping. We loved having the king sized bed and the two bathrooms. The breakfasts were great and the women who took care of us were so helpful although they didn't speak much English we managed with a combination of both. This is truly a way to experience Havana and it's people and culture, I couldn't imagine a more perfect place!
