House in Historic Center in Mérida

Dating from the 1950s, I have tried to keep the character of the house intact, while adding some fresh decorating touches. Located in the popular and pretty district of Santiago with its market nearby, the house is only 7 minutes walk from the Main Square and Cathedral. The upper terrace area is a great place to entertain and relax, with its al fresco bar and breezes. Welcome to the most safe city in Mexico! Mérida, Cultural Capital of America 2017! I look forward to seeing you very soon!

Santiago is an ancient district of the city and extremely popular with locals and foreigners alike. It is a lively area of bars and restaurants and of course the Market with its fresh produce. It is one of the most favourite areas for "expats" to buy a property and so this house is in a very sought after area of the city. Crime is very rare here. You can walk the city safely at night, of course adopting the usual sensible precautions. The church is pretty and on Tuesday nights you will see people of all ages dancing in the little square in front.

From the moment you arrive in the lively barrio of Santiago you will feel part of a wonderful and interesting neigbourhood. You have your own private clean space with authentic Mexican antique furnishings. The house is perfect for budget conscious travellers. It represents great value and enables you to get the most out of your trip! There is a supermarket very nearby and you must try the Panuchos Yucatecos in the local market just 2 minutes walk away! Fresh flowers and fruit are in abundance. The location is so Central yet after an exhilarating days sightseeing you can relax with a cold beer on the nice breezy roof terrace!

The whole house is yours with the exception of a small storage area where I keep my personal belongings.
I will give you a nice check in and some recommendations of things to do and restaurants to visit. I am nearby if needed.
Small pets are allowed - please ask. Smoking in OUTSIDE areas only please. Thank You!
No car is necessary. Uber taxis are in town and are cheap and wonderful!

CHECK IN: The house is available for check in after 3pm. Check out is 11am. Depending on the availability of the home, I am happy to accommodate an early check-in.

OCCUPANCY: The house is rented on the basis of the people listed on the agreement up to a maximum of 4. No extra overnight guests are allowed without the permission of the owner. The house is not designed to accomodate more than 4.

SMOKING AND PETS: Smoking is permitted but not inside the bedrooms please and small pets will be considered, please ask.

PARTIES: Absolutely no parties are permitted in the house.

NO BUSINESS TO BE CONDUCTED IN THE HOUSE.

Thank you for choosing Casa de Piedra. I look forward to welcoming you personally to this beautiful city of Mérida. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Safe journey! Dany :-)

Casa. Santiago
Nicely located about 6 blocks from the most central part of this lovely city. We more or less walked everywhere. Looking forward to coming back to Merida next year.

A Casa with Rustic Mexican Charm
The house included all the basics we needed for our seven week stay including a washer/dryer. We enjoyed the pool and patios and having doors and windows open. The location although at a busy intersection is close to a park and market and restaurants - so much to enjoy nearby. We enjoyed our stay and appreciate our host who made our visit a pleasant one by being so attentive.

Beautiful home in Centro
Very spacious and luxurious fully-furnished home in Centro, ideally located near some of Merida's best restaurants and historic sites. The pool area with fountain is a great place to relax and tune out the city on a hot afternoon, and the roof terrace is delightful at dusk when the breeze is up. Highly recommended; Daniel is a perfect host!

Perfect getaway
My husband and I love staying at the house it is walking distance to the central and walking distance to a lot of restaurants. The house had everything that we needed. Loved the pool so relaxing after a day of shopping or touring to go relax in the pool. I recommend this place and definitely would stay again if back in Merdia!!!!

Beautiful hidden gem
I absolutely loved my stay at Casa de Pietra. I highly recommend staying in a home vs a hotel for a truly local Mérida experience. The location is perfect in centro, just a few blocks from the main square and extremely accessible, but slightly off the beaten path so it doesn’t feel touristy. The home itself is very authentic in the architecture and decoration. My favourite parts were the private pool with beautiful waterfall and the colourful rooftop patio. The home is spacious and the air conditioning in the bedroom keeps you cool on hot nights. Daniel the host is so friendly and helpful, he even sent me videos on how to open the locks and use the pool, such a great host! He even provided face masks, hand sanitizer and gloves during the Covid pandemic. I would love to come back and can’t recommend staying here enough. Thank you for making my birthday trip amazing!

Loved our stay of just over a month in Casa de Piedra. Super nice and easy-going host who was always available. Great decoration...beautiful pieces...lots of books too. And close to where the cultural action is. Lots of restaurants , super market, meat and vegetable market near by. Would come back any time.

desagradable experiencia
falta de agua y muy poca presion, polvoso, pisos sucios, mal olor de drenage en el bano, unicamente tres toallas de bano para tres personas para toda la semana. no habia instrucciones para nada, AC unicamente en la recamara (temperatura de 40 C) escaleras peligrosas. Bar/night club atras de la casa con musica alta toda la noche, nada de esto mencionado en la descripcion de VRBO. El dueno/administrador cambio su actitud tan pronto nos quejamos del problema del agua y al final ni tan siquiera contesto nuestros mensajes, una tarde al regresar a la casa nos encontramos la puerta del patio abierta suponemos que El al ir a checar/cambiar la regadera la dejo abiera. pusimos un caja formal a VRBO (case no 35288249) tengo fotos y video por si son necesarias. No recomiendo esta propiedad ni me quedaria ahi otra vez.
