A cute urban hideaway inside a frescoed Spanish colonial mansion on Old Havana's largest square, Plaza Vieja. This one-bedroom apartment has been modernised to offer creature comforts, and a local craftsman has tiled the first-floor apartment in terracotta tiles. This one bedroom with a modern en suite is smart in gull-grey and white tones with a pretty painted glass reading light pinned to the wall. The equipped kitchen forms a corner in the open-plan living room where an extra bed is available for a third guest. This pied-à-terre is close to some of Old Havana's best refreshment stops: the next door alfresco beer factory bar, the Cuban cafe Escorial opposite, and the owner's brand-new Italian-style spot, Café Bohemia.
