Luxury in Down Town- Modern & Vintage Together .
There are a few real standouts among the AirBnBs I've stayed at over the years; Nuria's house is among the best of them. It just feels like home the moment you come in the front door. Well-appointed kitchen with plenty of cookware (even a comal!), dishes, storage containers, etc. Beautiful layout and exceptionally private backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is a short walk to many attractions, stores, and markets. The added little touches of Coronitas and sodas in the fridge, extra water for the dispenser, and travel toothbrushes/toothpaste just added that extra something that is rare to find in an AirBnB. We had a small problem with the front door handle, but when I let Nuria know about it, it was fixed within a couple hours. She even had cleaners come in mid-stay to tidy the place up! There are a few oddities with doors not being able to be opened, or not fully opening, but easy to overlook by just taking a dip in the pool or relaxing on the hammock. A stunning find on AirBnB.

CASA FRIDA MEXICAN BEAUTY - W/POOL
We arrived at Frida Casa to a nice welcome note from our hosts. The house was perfect for our family of 3, the garden and pool was an added bonus and nice to relax in. We sometimes walked into town, on other occasions used Uber, which was very reasonable. Casa Frida made a homely and comfortable base for our 4 days in Merida - we’d highly recommend.

Stunning Colonial Modern in the heart of Centro
This is THE place!!! We stayed for 4 nights and loved every single moment of it! To start, this was the biggest pool that I found in all of the Airbnbs I looked at. There is great AC and the upstairs grill/lounge area was such a great touch. I loved going up there in the mornings and seeing a little street kitty sitting on the neighbors roof. It is shaded and very comfortable! Great place to have your morning coffee. Speaking of morning coffee, they do provide a coffee maker and coffee grounds. Check-in was a breeze, and the person that helped us was very flexible with our time. In terms of location, it doesn't get better. We walked EVERYWHERE. When we didn't feel like walking, a quick Uber ride did the trick. I also loved the bed, it was so comfortable. The TV in the living room was a great touch to relax after long days of walking in Merida. Finally, the house looks like an art museum. I mean beautiful does not even begin to cover it. This whole place is something out of a magazine.

Private house/pool all utilities included CasaPaz2
Jane's place exceeded our expectations and this is the 3rd Airbnb we've stayed at in Merida. The private plunge pool was a plus and the home had everything we needed. Jane was very helpful. We love to walk so the location was perfect. Quiet area with friendly neighbors. Will definitely return!

Bright space, private pool in Centro neighborhood.

Casa Malfini
La casa está preciosa, nos encantó! La casa es grande por lo que la hace muy cómoda para grupos de más de 5 personas. La limpieza en todas las áreas fue excepcional. La decoración super linda, realmente invita a pasar tiempo dentro del alojamiento. Nosotros disfrutamos mucho la terraza. La casa se encuentra muy cerca del parque Santa Lucía y el Paseo Montejo, por lo que fue muy fácil desplazarse a pie o en Uber. Los anfitriones son super atentos y amables.

"La casa de los Pinos". Col. Héroes.
Valió la pena la estadía, muy limpio, cómodo, ordenado, me sentí en casa.

Casa Derecha, Chembech, Centro
Adam's place looked incredible, really spacious and the pool an added bonus. Good air con in the room for the hot nights, and mesh sliders to prevent insects. There's kitchen facilities and even a washer/dryer for laundry. He met us on arrival even though it was a late check-in, super friendly and always responded to our messages. The immediate area is a bit lacking in corner shops/restaurants, feels like the end of the main part of town but that does mean it was pretty quiet (other than some dog barking). There's a park within a couple of minutes and then plenty of great places to go within 10-20 minutes, or a taxi, so not a problem for us late at night. Would definitely stay again!

La casa está muy bien organizada y cerca de muchos lugares donde comer. La casa es muy cómoda y la separación de las habitaciones la hace más tranquila. Felipe siempre estuvo atento a cualquier cosa y una linda persona. Muchas gracias por todo Felipe!

El Capricho
Maria’s place is beautiful! Perfect for sharing with another family. Our kids loved the pool and the adults loved the outside seating area. So many amenities in the house including washer & dryer. You do have to walk a little longer than I was planning with kids, but for adults it’s fine. Also an OXO very close and convenient. We would stay here again! Thank you Maria!

Casita Azul- Garage- Good location.
Excelente lugar y en especial tranquilo el lugar, está la plaza cerca y te sientes como en casa.

Comfort and Tranquility in Merida Centro
We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay at Neil's WONDERFUL property. There were two bedrooms with en-suite baths - far enough apart to give privacy. The living room and bedrooms had air conditioners which were really appreciated; there were fans in all the rooms. The decor was very inviting -- artwork in every room and very comfortable beds and furniture. The baths were spacious with lots of hot water in the showers. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need; I can't think of anything that was lacking. Neil was the ideal host - his communication was top-notch, and he had a book with all the information on the unit as well as helpful suggestions as to the area -- restaurants, etc. There is a super market a couple of blocks away, and the zoo if just around the corner. The pool and outside space is super. Whether it was coffee in the morning or a dip in the pool after being in town - it's ideal. Thank you, Neil, for making our stay magical. Highly recommended.

Colonial with views/pool in Centro
Beautiful home in a great central location. A block from a great market with incredible food, a couple of blocks from Plaza Grande and everything going on there and an easy enough walk to Paseo Montejo that the 72 year old in our party with a bad knee could make it. The house itself is huge, the pictures can’t capture just how much space you actually have and the views from the multiple levels of patios are better than the expensive rooftop restaurant on Plaza Grande. Overall, if you are like I was and have looked at every Airbnb in Merida and can’t figure out what’s close to the things you want to see or if it’s big enough for your group…this is the place. I stressed for weeks on choosing a place and I’m so glad we get this one!

Casa Corazón. The best property.

Airy house with bikes and pool
Het is een prachtig huis om vanuit daar de stad te verkennen. De fietsen zijn ideaal! Het huis is voorzien van alle gemakken, aan alles is gedacht. Heerlijk privé, makkelijk parkeren voor de deur. Onbezorgd verblijf, zou het zo weer boeken. Charles was een hele vriendelijke host met veel tips.

Your guide to Merida
All About Mérida
Sprawling plazas, jewel toned turn-of-the century architecture, vibrant music scenes, and mouthwatering dishes are just a few of the things that await you in the historic city of Mérida. Located roughly 3.5 hours west of Cancún, Yucatán’s capital city immerses you in the peninsula’s rich culture by giving you a peek into life beyond its quintessential white sand beaches.
Enjoy the peace provided by shady palm trees and cool stone benches in the many plazas splattered across town. Take in the sights, smells, and unforgettable tastes of Lucas de Galvéz market, with its stalls piled high with fresh tropical fruits and the aroma of fried panuchos (tortillas with beans, pulled meat, and pickled cabbage). The food scene here is different from anything you’ll find in the rest of the country, due to its strong Spanish, Mayan, and Caribbean influences.
And if you’re looking for day trip ideas, neighboring UNESCO World Heritage sites Chichen Itza and Uxmal make Mérida the perfect base for exploring the abundance of culture Yucatán has to offer.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Merida
Your best bet to enjoy everything Mérida has to offer without worrying about rainy weather would be to book your apartment rental from October to March, with January being considered the high season. June to September boasts warm weather as well, but be warned it can be relatively humid during this time. Planning your trip for January will give you the chance to take part in Mérida Fest. A lively festival lasting several weeks, the city’s eponymous celebration commemorates its founding by reveling in local art, music, and theatre. It’s also worth taking a look at whichever dates Carnaval happens to fall (typically right before Lent), as Yucatan’s capital promises to be one of the most popular in Latin America.
Top things to do in Merida
Cenotes
Coming from the Mayan word dzenot meaning “sacred well”, these spellbinding pools are a refreshing respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. No two cenotes are alike, with some providing a fully open-air experience surrounded by greenery while others have a closed top, creating a more cave-like or grotto feel. With over 6,000 cenotes across the peninsula, you are sure to find one that feels just right.
Pok Ta Pok
Every Saturday, locals gather to watch one of the oldest sporting games in the province for free. Pok Ta Pok — an ancient ritual of the Maya people to honor their gods and give thanks — consists of getting a 9-pound rubber ball through a hoop on the wall using only your thighs or hips. The sport has gained popularity in recent years and pays homage to the city’s history.
Cochinita pibil
Contemporary Yucatecan cooking combines Mayan flavors with Spanish and Cuban influences, creating mouthwateringly unique dishes that will stay with you long after your tan has faded. While you’re here, try cochinita pibil, a dish that encapsulates this fusion of flavors — pork is marinated in fresh orange juice with annatto seeds and achiote paste, then wrapped in banana leaves and slow-cooked in a fire pit until the meat becomes fall-off-the-bone tender.
