It's not like that anymore. There are many Cubans who rent a room in their houses, so foreigners live with them and share with the family.
> The police arrest those who spend too much time with foreigners
It is possible, but I don't think it is very likely. I think those who can be arrested are doing some illegal activity, like selling tobacco or lobster. Generally these products are from the black market. In the city where I live there are always foreigners all year round and they coexist with Cubans normally.
