Francisco and his assistant, Robie, were excellent and very responsive hosts! They were gracious enough to accomodate my parents and I with an early check-in as our flight landed that morning. The place was easy to find, was in a central location, and we were glad there was a dedicated parking space. We felt safe and secure the entire time. The apartment was just as pictured and had unexpected extras like spices, condiments, teas, drinks, plenty of cleaning supplies, and air fresheners! We especially enjoyed the artwork! Casa Havana is modern and has super fast wifi! Like other reviewers, we thoroughly enjoyed the beds! My dad wished he could transport the bed back to their house, lol. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend Casa Havana for anyone looking for a 2 BR, modern, safe, clean, central, welcoming place to stay in Oakland.
