The place was very nice and super good location. Need a bit of cleaning but everything else was great.

We loved visiting Merida and staying at Mariana's beautiful home. We had four couples and there was plenty of room for each to have privacy but also come together for breakfast, share the pool and plan excursions and dinners. There are many activities to do in and around Merida, and we found having our own cars was very helpful for getting out into the larger area. Having garage space at the house was great, as street parking is a bit tricky by the house. Around town, we walked, as there are many great restaurants, museums and shops within close range. Additionally, it was very fun for us was having Mariana's housekeeper, Librada, make breakfast for us each day. She was a delightful person and a great cook! We would love to visit Merida again and if we do, we hope we can stay at Mariana's home again.

thanks

Regresen pronto! Estaremos felices de volverlas a recibir ;)

This house is very beautifully designed and the layout worked well for eight friends for two weeks. The furniture inside and out was comfortable as were the beds. Our host was very responsive to my texts and her housekeeper Libby was lovely but she did not speak English. She came every couple of days to sweep and take out our garbage which was nice. We did have an issue with no hot water in the smaller house that was resolved by a plumber in a few days however we found the hot water in the guest bathrooms spotty throughout our stay. Not a huge deal for our group. The houses location is a 10 minute walk to lots of restaurants and interesting sites. We had Libby cook dinner the night we arrived and we had delicious chicken for two more meals. We took a food tour with “Eating with Carmen” and thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend it highly We enjoyed our stay in Merida at this home very much! Thank you

We loved Mariana's space. The house is very nice and very spacious to accommodate large groups comfortably. The attention and details made our stay very special and made us enjoy our visit to Merida in a special way. Mariana's recommendations for places to visit were very worth it and the location of the house is privileged in the center of Merida to go for a walk and find everything you need. We will definitely be back to continue enjoying, thank you!

When we first stumbled upon this house, it seemed almost too good to be true. There must be a catch! But everything was as perfect as it seemed online. The house is just perfect! Centrally located, walkable to plenty of restaurants and cultural spots. Mariana is the most thoughtful, gracious host. She provided us with all the information we needed and was extremely flexible with the check-in/out times. The house is beautiful, with plenty of space and daylight. Nicely decorated and well equipped. It is worthy to have Librada prepare her delicious breakfasts... and she can even do groceries for you before your arrival. Thanks Mariana for a wonderful weekend! We highly recommend this place. Felix

Definitely a perfect house for group trips or large families. The photos show it as is. Many areas for living together. And the extra service of the Librada cook is not to be missed, delicious cuisine and you can ask her for many typical dishes of the region. Mariana's attention and response was excellent. Their recommendations are very good. I loved the decor and the art touches you find all around the house. I will definitely be back!

The house is amazing, it has very good spaces to live together. Librada, the person who helps, is super friendly and cooks very well. The location is great for getting to know the city center.

Truly had an amazing stay. We were a group of 6 women on a girlstrip. Mariana was an amazing host! She didn't have a guest before us, so we were granted early access to the home and let us extend our stay until our flights. Everything was just as the pictures showed. Mariana was an amazing host and communicated seamlessly through WhatsApp, helping us understand taxi service from airport, making recommendations on driver service for our large group to get to the beach and helped us connect with a COVID lab who offered an at home service. We had daily cleaning service which was lovely and the house was amazing. There are 2 houses but in the back second house there was a very large kitchen/dining/living room where we all gathered. Everything was amazing, we loved the architecture and design of the home. Each room had more than enough storage for us to have our clothes and bags stored and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. The living room also has a smart TV and we were able to connect to the wifi easily. The home itself is very close to the city center and conveniently has a little convenience store across the street. The street the house is on is just 4 blocks east from shopping and restaurants. We walked nearly everywhere. We would absolutely stay here again!

Mariana's home was amazing! We were a group of 13 from three different families and it was perfect. We loved the pools, the furnishings, the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, outside areas, it was all beautiful! The location of the house was also ideal. We walked everywhere! And there was a convenient little store right across the street. Mariana arranged for her housekeeper, Librada, to cook for us and she was a delight. She cooked traditional food and it was delicious. We went home with many of the recipes that she prepared! Mariana was super responsive from our original reservation, to arranging for cooking, ordering groceries ahead of our arrival, and anything we needed. We can't wait to return to Merida and would definitely stay at Mariana's home again and would highly recommend that you do too!

The house is spectacular! Super well located, less than a 10-minute walk to everything downtown, about 25 minutes (taxi) from the airport (depending on traffic.) It has a very large garage where 2 small cars can easily fit or maybe up to 3. We rented the two houses and there were 8 of us, we had plenty of space. We had breakfast at the large house, Librada who took care of everything before we arrived, helped us buy and prepare some food. Delicious cuisine, is super friendly and helps you with everything you need during your stay. The rooms are very large, they all have air conditioning that works perfectly, they have private bathrooms and the best part is that the beds and pillows are super comfortable!! All the rooms are very private and especially the ones next to the pool have 3 doors, you can't hear anything and you sleep deliciously. Right in front of the house there is a mini supermarket where you can buy drinks, snacks, ice, etc... Mariana was super kind from start to finish and that's because of Covid issues we had to change the date twice. She gave us great recommendations for places and always answered all questions very quickly. I would definitely stay there again, we were all happy with the house and Merida definitely keeps a very special place in our hearts.

Mariana’s hacienda is spectacular! We were a group of 4 people and the hacienda was perfect. It had nice communal spaces indoors and outdoors and the rooms are all large and well air conditioned! Given the size of the hacienda, each of us had our own space and it never felt like we were crowding each other. Since we came in the heat of late May, we made plenty of use of the pools! It was great to walk around in Merida and retreat back to the pool once it got too hot! The hacienda is walking distance to the main parts of Centro - Parque mellorada. There are a lot of cantinas, markets, street foods, restaurants, all close by. You can easily Uber (10 min) to other great parts of Merida from the hacienda. The hacienda is also directly across the street from a convenience store for water, snacks, mezcal, beers etc. Mariana and Librada (housekeeper) surprised me with a cake for my birthday during our stay. 🥰 it was so nice. Also, Librada is the funnest, and sweetest lady. She randomly surprised us with treats (homemade salsas, snacks, and agua frescas!) in the kitchen during our stay! We had loved our stay and can’t wait to be back there soon.

Merida is a beautiful pity that we were in bad weather and in the middle of a pandemic, so we found almost everything closed. Regarding the house, you should be more careful with cleanliness since the bathrooms had hair everywhere and the sinks in the showers covered by the same thing. Another detail is that there is no hot water other than in the terrace room and the one next to the pool so we suffered a lot since with bad weather and bringing 3 babies if we required hot water, so consider putting another heater or solar heater because the hot water does not come out. When it comes to cleaning, they could improve their linens as they are a little dirty and worn. The arrival was incredible. Librada was already waiting for us and explained everything we needed. The house is really comfortable and very nice, exactly as in the photos, it is ideal for large families since its common areas are perfect for group coexistence.

The house is quite spacious and very well-designed with areas for conversing, lounging and dining. The bedrooms and baths are large and offer privacy when desired so it was the perfect home for friends/ couples to share. The home is nicely decorated with a mix of modern and with gorgeous tiles on the floors and lovely architectural details throughout that make the place and the kitchen has ample plates, serving pieces and cookware for group dinners or parties. The location is excellent, only a few minutes walk from the zocalo and the elegant Paseo de Montejo section with its shops and museums.

The house, or rather, the two houses together, is spacious, the spaces with very high ceilings and the person in the house is very attentive and even makes a purchase in advance, which is very appreciated. Cleanliness, especially of the kitchen and all utensils, was not the best. It's a recommended place.

It is a very cute place near downtown Very clean and spacious with areas that you can enjoy a lot of ideal for groups where coexistence needs a space I would definitely go again. We were very happy. Librada's service was excellent and Mariana was always attentive to what will be needed

The house is amazing. It is just a 5-10 minute walk to great bars, restaurants, and shopping. With 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, and 2 pools it is very comfortable for 10-14 people. Our group was in town for a wedding and it was the perfect place to allow us to all be together. We were able to enjoy the pool and outdoor spaces as a group. It was very convenient that each bedroom had a luxurious en suite bathroom. The house itself is beautiful. The linens and beds were very comfortable. There were some issues with the plumbing that the host dealt with very swiftly.

Mariana's place is just beautiful and any architecture lover will appreciate the construction and the many details that are part of the decoration (catelle, etc.). The pool allowed us to cool down on hot days. There is also the possibility of using air conditioning and fans if needed! The house is very well located and has a large garage allowing 2 large cars to enter. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is much appreciated. We did not meet Mariana but she was reachable at any time by messages and was concerned in advance of our arrival, which went smoothly. Mariana gave us advice when we wrote to her to see where to go in Merida. Librada, the maid, is very nice and helped us out when we asked her. We forgot some clothes in a drawer when we left and she sent them to us through FEDEX the following week. During our stay, one of the bedrooms had a water problem (there was no more in the toilet or in the shower). Librada immediately came with a plumber and everything was sorted within the hour!

Merci Sophie d'avoir choisi notre maison et tu es toujours bienvenue chez nous, à bientôt :)

This extremely charming house is actually two different units, which I either forgot or did not realize. Perfect for two families wanting their own space. The owners were extremely accommodating by allowing us to shorten our stay when the airline changed our itinerary. We realized that an outlet was not working and the owners promptly had it fixed (a fuse had been blown). The location was ideally located and it was so helpful to have a garage to park our car, as we rented a car to explore all of the wonderful sites outside of the city. There were games for us to play and even a Wii, as well as thoughtful touches, such as fresh flowers and water pitchers left by our bedside. We would love to return to Mérida and rent this house again! Thank you Mariana and Marcos!!!

This beautiful location was beyond our expectations. It was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday with family and friends.

My family loved their stay at Mariana's home. Even if Mariana is not always in Merida, she is very attentive to her clients and responds very quickly to resolve any problems, whatever it is. This was the only time a host reached out to me to see what the place was like and if anything was missing. Unbreakable! The maid, Librada, is a loving person and took very good care of us. The house and the location are highly recommended. If you are visiting Merida for a few days and want an unforgettable experience, definitely stay at Mariana's house.

Excellent host, super located downtown house with many restaurants a couple of blocks away. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, excellent living area with TV room and living room on the terrace, internal dining room and dining room on the terrace. Excellent for large groups, the house is all integrated and we loved both the style and the integration.

Gaby tú y tu familia son bienvenidos siempre, qué bueno que estuvieron contentos ;)

Our trip to Merida was made that much nicer by Mariana's great house. We were celebrating our parents 50th anniversary and the house comfortably accommodated our party of 12. We can't say enough about Merida itself - the people are so friendly and there is no shortage of interesting things to do and see. The location of the house was perfect for walking to all the excitement in the town centre. Mariana always got back to us very promptly with any questions and Librada (who came every morning to tidy up) was super helpful and sweet. We are happy to give a 5 star review and look forward to heading back one day. What an awesome escape from the Canadian winter!

Host Response

Thank you Stephen and family for staying with us! Please come back soon ;)

The house fulfilled our expectations for a wonderful place to gather with family to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Our three married children and six grandchildren had a grand time, and the suggestions in the instruction book were very helpful. And communication with Mariana was very easy, with immediate replies.

Host Response

Thank you so much for your kind words Joan and we wish you many more happy years. Thank you for the feedback I’m checking all the details right now. You are welcome back anytime ;)

What a treasure this place is. Our group of six had plenty of space to enjoy each other's company over meals and to enjoy the openness of the natural environment by the pool while sheltered from the sun. We could each retire to our private spaces which were generous in size. Mariana and her helper Librada were completely available for any need that arose. The kitchen was well equipped. Highly recommended.

Mariana's place was absolutely beautiful. The streets of Merida are one ways so it is a bit difficult to navigate through, but once you find the house everything else becomes easier. She also includes a booklet of information about Merida and the house. Within the booklet we found recommendations of where to eat and where to find stores. Amazing stay and a beautiful experience. Highly recommend!

What a spacious, tranquil, gorgeous home to spread out in! Recently visiting Mérida for my wedding, I arranged for my family to stay at Mariana's home. Their first time to Mérida, they were seeking something spacious, well located, safe and serene. Mariana's home delivered all of that and then some! It was such a treat to daily hear their adoration and comfort staying in the home, and admiring the location along with them, we all frequently walked to and from the main square and Parqué de Santa Lucia. Safe, comfortable and convenient the home was everything they were seeking and more. The kitchen especially was a lovely gathering place with an open plan to the rest of the home to meet. We did rent both the casita as well as the main house and utilizing all of the generously spaced areas was so very special. As a whole the family now has a huge crush on Mérida and if we were so lucky to make it back together again soon we would absolutely reach to this home to stay in! Thank you much Mariana!!!
