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.

Gay friendly Casa particulars phone # in Havana 53-7-874-3349 I read the tip above about the Casa Particular (Private House) where rooms are rented in Havana Cuba and I went for two weeks on my holiday from Chile. Vimipa was correct, Jorge Silvio is a wonderful person, we miss him much now, and the house is very good with all comfort, the location of the house is good and as vimipa said within walking distance from some important places of the city. Jorge made our trip extra special. We highly recommend him and his house. Thanks vimipa. He can be contacted at bojimor@yahoo.es.
