Cuba
It is a gay-friendly guest house in the centre of Havana. Jorge, the landlord of the place, is a wonderful gay man who will give you plenty of tips during your trip. He has also a great sense of humour and speak many languages.
The rooms are nicely decorated and very comfy with private bathrooms and air conditioning. He can cook breakfast, lunch and dinner if you wish.
Security: this place is very safe as Jorge takes all necessary measures. Nothing will ever happen to your wallet!
I will definitely go back to Jorge very soon as all gay travellers who have been to his place do.

It's a gay tour guide service for gay travelers in Cuba! Nice college kids,
openly gay and they seem to feel that the government isn't against gays.
Meeting these people was the highlight of our trip. They really opened our eyes to a Cuba we could never have discovered on our own.
It's not easy to find gay-friendly casas particulares in Cuba, but I have a great time in Havana, thanks largely to the owner of the apartment I stay in. He goes out of his way to help, and I really feel at home there. The place really is gay-friendly and I feel completely at ease there. It's in Havana Centro, just 15 minutes from the Malecon and from Coppelia, two areas where people gather to meet friends and stroll about (and which are also the two most popular cruising areas). Habana Vieja (Old Havana), where there are many historical monuments, theatres, museums etc. is also within walking distance. He charges 25 CUC a day per room, with AC, a private bathroom and a fridge in your room. He speaks English too. If you've never been to Havana before Jorge will also show you around these places the first time you go there, if you want. He doesn't normally offer meals but I asked and he does for me, and I am very satisfied with the food. I thoroughly recommend the place, it really makes my trips extra special! Of course, women are very welcome there too.
