Скачать или смотреть Cuba Vlog Day 3 - Finding a Casa Particular

We had booked our first two nights through Cuba-Junky, which then redirected us to Homestay.com, we paid CUC on arrival and a $5 USD booking fee on line - unfortunately our first little Casa Particular didn't have any more available nights so we hit the streets for a new home!
We headed into Havana Vieja (old Havana) as it was a bit more touristy to catch our bearings for a few days and scored with an amazing little boutique Casa for two nights ($35 CUC/night) and were glad we did because for the rest of our Havana stay we went back over to Havana Central for its lack of tourists!
We literally went door knocking, occasionally ending up in someones lounge room, or yelling up to people on balconies - it was fun, but not as easy as we expecting. Being the high season and over a weekend we did approach over 20 Casas before getting one. We are learning that everything in Cuba does take time, getting a meal, waiting in lines, and we were very quickly learning that patience is key!
All of our Casa Mummas were the biggest sweethearts, making us coffee and breakfast, chatting to us and we felt totally at ease being in these homes. We would 100% recommend staying in Casas, not only for the price tag (those big hotels are upwards of $500 USD per night....) but the experience is way better and just the people you meet, it feels more like the experience of the Real Cuba, really taking it to a new level!
PS we did not look into private Havana Airbnbs - only because we wanted the full Casa experience, and we were not disappointed.
