A granddaughter of former Cuban governor Raúl Castro and brother of the late Fidel Castro has rented her grandfather's luxurious mansion in Havana through the Airbnb service. Its cost? give up to 8 guests, two master suites, private terraces, pool and air conditioning.

The offer has caused angry protests in networks of those who consider the luxury of the mansion an insult to the shortages that the Cuban people live.

While the people of #Cuba struggled to meet their most basic needs in life, most of them living with a San Francisco-based year old was one of the first to enter the Cuban market and immediately added nearly 4,000 private homes to your online rental catalog. Such provision was reserved only for residents of the United States and its territories.

In March 2016, the United States announced new changes, opening the Aribnb service in Cuba to visitors from all over the world, making the island one of its fastest growing markets.

However, the new measures towards Havana announced this week by the administration of President Donald Trump, among other things, restrict practically family visits by Americans traveling to the island, which may be a blow to the Cuban tourism industry.

Of course, Raúl's granddaughter can always rent her luxurious residence to tourists from the rest of the world, such as Canadians and Europeans, who are not affected by the measure.
