Casa Merici
I stayed in this private room with Alejandra and her sisters at Casa Merici when I first came to Havana to study Spanish at the University.
Their apartment is located just two blocks away from the University, and it was super quick to get to close from there.
The building and the apartment are old, and the private room doesn’t have any proper windows. However, the apartment itself has a beautiful look and on the top floor, there is a nice pretty large terrace which is perfect for studying or reading a book in the afternoons.
The room is $12 USD/night.
