Wow, AirBnB opens up Cuba availability on their site. If anyone goes to Cuba, I highly recommend staying in Casas. There are a few "local" type search sites but I imagine AirBnB will be pretty nice to search. I'm guessing this option will be a lot easier for people to book than when I did... for one of my Casas, I googled and found the owners phone number, called them... my house to Havana, then I spoke my 2 words of Spanish while the owner spoke her 3 words of English. We understood each other enough to realize I should just email her my itinerary. Luckily they had a room for me when I arrived. lol
