HAVANA, CUBA — “Welcome! You are our daughter now!” said Israel Sainz in the cosy living room of the second-floor apartment he shares with Maruchi Sainz in Old Havana. Travellers looking for a fun, unique — and very Cuban — accommodation experience will find it in Havana’s casa particulars. Now registered casa particulars are all over the country, wherever a blue upside-down anchor symbol is nailed near the door. At the Sainzs’ apartment, breakfast consisted of an ample serving of eggs, bread, fresh guava and pineapple, and amazing coffee.
