Another type is the home of someone. Ask around in the streets ([[User:Bernhard|Bernhard]] did that usually at those little corner shops where they sell juice and pizza) if they know a casa particular or any other hospedaje available for the night. Sometimes you need to ask a few people but sooner or later there will someone approaching you and tell you to follow them. They bring you to some house where either someone else is living or the person himself. Prices are at around 20 CUC including food. It is save to do since they bring themselves in danger when this comes out since they have no license to offer a room. So if they steal stuff you would go to the police and this would mean the home owner is in bad trouble and could loose his house. Or at least this is what i kept telling myself when following people into small side streets. Do keep your voice down though and don't talk to anybody where you are staying. Speaking Spanish is almost a must and maybe get yourself a Cuban haircut.
 
 
== Jineteros ==
Those are the guys in parks called who can sell you anything, organize you anything and do whatever they need to do to rip you off.
However, those are also the guys who can make the most impossible happen. They know the city and where to get whatsoever. This might be useful for the one or the other. [[User:Bernhard|Bernhard]] used one to organise him a bicycle in order to cycle around the country. This was surprisingly difficult to find and the knowledge of a jinatero was well appreciated.
 
Be aware though that the Jineteros main goal isn't your wellbeing but rather that you pay him.
