Hidden escape I’m merida
Great spot in Merida. Close enough to centro/plazas/nightlife to be able to get there for a US$1 uber, but a few blocks away from the noise and activity. That was perfect for us. Private secluded pool was amazing. Layout is a little tricky. With just two of us we didn’t end up attempting to bring suitcases up the spiral staircase to the upstairs master. There is another bedroom downstairs. Would work well for 2 couples for privacy because rooms are across the courtyard from each other. Communication with host was easy. I’d go back!

Staying at the house was absolutely amazing! Everything was as described and more.
The house and the yard were so beautiful, nice character, clean and comfortable. The swimming pool was a must and just perfect for the hot days in Merida. Great location for visiting around town on foot and going out for dinner or a cold drink. And we always had an open spot for parking right in front of the house. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us we had a great time.

Adorable house, but your neighbor is a barking dog.
This is a charming casita, perfect for 2 couples if you can use the back bedroom. A common wall between the bedroom and an adjacent garden amplifies the often incessant barking of the poor, neglected pooch who lives there. The owners leave him alone in the yard when they go out and he doesn’t like it. This being said, Barbara, the owner is a concerned and responsive landlord. And Mirza, Barbara’s in town proxy is helpful as well The house is well located but understand that a few blocks in Mérida can be a relatively long walk and the sidewalks are often narrow and cratered. And it can be very hot! Just around the corner is a swell language School and 2 blocks away is Oliva one truly fine Italian restaurant. No not Mexican, better. So this a great house but beware the barking dog. Also note that you will be charged for the electricity that you use and if the heat or the dog drive you into the front of the house with windows and doors shut, you will be using a good deal of electricity to run the AC. Finally note that UBER is a great and very inexpensive way to get around and if you are planning to set up house and cook in, take an Uber to the ‘burbs to do a big shop. Better than the closer Walmart.

A Tranquil Space in Busy Merida
We loved our month long stay in this beautiful home. Behind the blue doors that you enter from the street is a quiet, tranquil, beautifully decorated historic colonial. The two king suites are located so the occupants have complete privacy. In the center of the house is an open air courtyard with a small pool for cooling off during the hot Merida afternoons. The tall ceilings with fans in every room keep the house cool even when it is 90 degrees outside. Everything is beautifully designed and kept in perfect condition. Mirza is readily available to answer any questions or assist with any problems. Merida is an active city with lots of museums, restaurants, shops and plenty of activities. The house is perfectly located so that everything is within walking distance. A car is not necessary unless you wish to take day trips to the cenotes, Mayan ruins or visit other pueblos. If you choose to wander and don’t have a vehicle, many trips are available to take you different places by bus with excellent guides. I took advantage of my time in Merida to study Spanish at La Calle, an excellent language school with walking distance of the casa. The people at the school and, in fact, all of Merida were warm, friendly and accommodating. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, that this is the best place we have ever rented on our many vacations. If you are visiting Merida you can not go wrong by staying in this wonderful house.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
We're a group of friends that love to travel and explore. We are interior designers, foodies and travel lovers who fell in love with Merida and want to share our lovely Centro house with new friends from around the world.

Why they chose this property

Before we purchased our house in 2015, it was owned by the family of a popular local architect. Originally used as an artist studio, it has a wonderful sense of openness, light and tranquility that we adore. We added some modern features and provided some of those special touches you'd expect to find in boutique hotels.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do....

What makes this property unique

Imagine enjoying drinks on your rooftop terrace during the cool evenings or a refreshing swim after a day exploring Merida Centro or the Yucatan Peninsula....
