If you’re looking for a place in Havana then stay at a casa particular. They are much more interesting and comfortable than staying in a government hotel.
A great one for the area of Vedado is that run by Armando Guiterrez. The apartment is modern, and the room to rent is ensuite, very clean, a good size with air conditioning and right in the centre of Vedado - and all at reasonable cost for Havana.
He speaks fantastic English and French and is more than happy to help with anything that needs to be sorted out for your holiday as well as explain how to solve any problems that the Cuban system presents. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our holiday and wished that we could have stayed for longer. To leave Cuba from here really left us with an amazingly positive feeling about people.
