An extra twin sized bed can also be added in the bedroom, for free. While the
apartment itself does not offer luxury, it is perfectly clean and remarkably large
(over 600 sq.ft).The owner lives in a separate apartment at the back of the build-
ing. Note: The hot water tends to run out by late evening and the bathroom is not
modern, although perfectly functional. Overall, when considering the price, size,
privacy, location, comfort, and large terrace, I believe this to be one of the hidden
gems of Vedado's casa particular market. Landlord asks 25 CUC per night.
