The place was very nice and super good location. Need a bit of cleaning but everything else was great.
Mariana's place was amazing, and she is lovely! Exactly like the pictures! 8 minutes walking from the city center, and the house is beyond amazing. We were 9 people, and all of us fit comfortably without any problem. The house has all the amenities that you can think of, and the bathrooms are huge too. I would definitely come back here.
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.
We loved this awesome compound for a group of friends in town for a wedding. It has a good amount of privacy, space, and has two pools. We loved interacting with Librada. The location is near to many things in Centro.
thanks

Regresen pronto! Estaremos felices de volverlas a recibir ;)
We had a very good time at the Airbnb. Mariana was always there when we faced any issues. The house is very beautiful and tasteful furnished. I can only recommend 10/10

The place is wonderful and Libbi, the manager, is very kind. We went in a group of 9 people and it was really comfortable and pleasant.
House is beautiful! Librada, the lady in charge of the house, was very helpful and friendly. Both Mariana and Librada were extremely supportive and helped us with grocery shopping and cooking. House location is great, 10 minutes from historic downtown and very quiet at night. Highly recommend.
Great location with plenty of space for our group to relax! It had everything we needed and was convenient and walkable to central
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!
We were a party of nine and we had a great time! It was a lovely house and very comfortable. Librada was such a great help, and was always available. It is also very well located, a couple of blocks from everything (walking distance). And a little shop in front with snacks and drinks, which came in handy. The space for parking was perfect, it fit both of our cars. I highly recommend, if I visit Merida again I would definitely book this again.
We stayed a week for a Family Reunion. The place is super well located in the heart of downtown Merida. Easy to walk to restaurants shopping and downtown attractions. The place is spacious, clean and cozy. The best part was the service. We asked our host to have Librada (house maid) to cook for us breakfast every day. She made us delicious local breakfast and was very nice and helpful!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! The two separate homes within the compound worked perfectly for us. It all felt light and airy and fresh - we enjoyed the outdoor living areas and pools, and how all the rooms centered off of the courtyards. The roof terrace was a much enjoyed bonus, and Livy was a treasure. We hope to return to lovely Merida soon!
The house is very well located, in the center, you can walk to everything. Super spacious, ideal for groups. Librada was the best, attentive, deli kitchen, very friendly and supported us in everything necessary! We would definitely come back.
House with great decor and very comfortable Very well located and I deal with the host Mariana and the people who work in the excellent house working in the house is excellent!!!
Was a great size for the number of people in our group. The pool was a real treat, and the best part of our stay, especially when it was hot.
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
Mariana was a fantastic host and Libby was an amazing cook and kept everything super clean. Definitely would recommend staying here. Mariana is super responsive and very accommodating. Honestly one of my best Airbnb experiences in years.
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!
Awesome place in a great location. If you're spending time in Merida this is the place to be!
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.
Super relaxing accommodation for a large group. Great location. Mariana is very responsive and we were able to arrange breakfast and housekeeping! It was a wonderful stay.
The perfect hacienda for a true local flavor. The location was perfect and an easy walk to the square and downtown Merida with lots of restaurant. Mariana was a gracious host and Librada, the housekeeper, is darling and kept the place clean every day. The place is truly stunning and just as pictured.
Mariana was a great host, she communicated quickly and made sure everything was ready for our stay, she even got a person to go makes us break fast and the dishes every morning!
The house is beautiful, super spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. It is very well located and quite quiet and comfortable. The cook's service is very good, the cuisine is super rich and she is very attentive and kind. Mariana was always attentive to everything, I definitely recommend this stay as an extraordinary option to visit the wonderful city in Merida and its surroundings.
The house was great and well located. Mariana was a great house. The house was perfect for our multigenerational family of nine.
Had an outstanding experience at Mariana‘s house and the amenities were spectacular the attention was immediate. I had a great time with my friends and we will for sure return to Mariana‘s home!
The house is very nice and comfortable, we hired a maid and the service was amazing, she cooked typical food from Yucatan.. I would definitely used again.
The house is beautiful, very well located. We spent an incredible days Librada's attention is excellent, very kind, always attentive and delicious cuisine
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!
We had a great time! We had 7 adults and 2 small children. Librada the housekeeper was fantastic. Mariana arranged a small grocery trip and some meals to be prepared by her. Everything was clean and exactly what we expected. Mariana was great with communication and answered any questions we had. Will go back next chance we get!
Great location. Very close to Paseo Montejo and downtown Merida. The house is amazing, it is very spacious and has all the amenities, very comfortable.
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.
Spectacular space for a large family or two families to stay. The Pools kept our heads cool in the midday sun and it was super close to centro for city venturing. We love the design elements of the space, and how it made you feel like you are in an oasis of calm. My dream home will look just like this place. Very amangiri!
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.
This is a wonderful house for a large group. There is plenty of space to hang out together and separately. The location is perfect for exploring the centro and walking to various restaurants. The convenience store across the street is super convenient for water and beer! After a busy day it felt like our secret paradise. Thank you!

Thank you Shari for your kind words and all your feedback is very useful! Come back anytime
The location of the house is very good if you want to walk downtown, Paseo Montejo and go to dinner to good places. All comfortable and the house well equipped to enjoy after walking during the day.
Nice place in a good location! The pools were great on hot days. Could use a few updates but overall it's a great space for family and friends to gather. It has good feng shui!
Mariana's accommodation is very nice, the spaces are spacious and Librada has excellent treatment with guests.
Excellent for a large family, very nice and the best thing is Librada, the cook who takes care of you and cooks delicious food

Muchas gracias por haber escogido nuestra casa, regresen cuando quieran ;) todas sus sugerencias ya se tomaron en cuenta. Que pasen lindo año!
Excellent place and fantastic management from Mariana and the best lady to look after you Sra Librada
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.
Great location, very nice updated property with a lot of charm. Bedrooms are very private with in-suite bathrooms. Great place to gather in the common areas. Lighting is not the best and cleanliness could use some improvement. Mariana was very quick to respond and for an additional fee she has a housekeeper that is very accommodating to your needs. Beautiful home.
Incredible space and home! We loved gathering on the veranda then having the ability to retreat to our own private rooms. The location was also great and within easy walking distance to all.
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.
Excellent attention and service and attitude of Librada, perfect place for families. Good amenities and the place is very nice and quite functional!!!
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 house is very spacious, the pool is beautiful, it has very enjoyable social areas. The beds are really comfy. And the location is quite good... walking you get to several points of interest in the center. We were greeted with coffee, chopped fruit and the deal was very friendly:)
Good location, easy parking (inside property) and very high level of standard inside the villa. And quick and helpful respons from the owner before and during our stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in this fantastic villa!
Amazing place in the heart of Merida! The best thing about it, the hosts are fabulous!
Gorgeous house, perfect location.. There were 10 of us and all of us were extremely comfortable.

Gracias Patti for your kind review, please come back soon!
Speaking first of all about the hosts, both Mariana and who always help her very attentive and always responded very quickly. The house is excellent for a large group. We were three families 13 people in total, 5 rooms all with private bathroom and very spacious. It has several spaces to spend time, indoor, semi indoor and outdoor, we all had a great time.
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 :)
Mariana's house was AMAZING!!! Great space and great service!!! She couldn't have been more helpful and really helped make our stay memorable. Librada, the housekeeper, was also incredible!!! Couldn't have asked for anything better. Very much recommend Mariana's home, hope to be back soon!!!
Host Response
Gracias Andie for your kind review, you were an excellent guest, I hope you come back soon!
The house is architecturally stunning and well located in Merida, close to some great restaurants like Apoala. We had some hiccups in the beginning with a faucet and tidiness but Mariana addressed things right away and was extremely responsive to messages. People could really spread out throughout the space and a huge plus is that there is fast wifi in many parts of the house, helpful for those of us who need to stay in touch while away.
The house is very large, and it is as seen in the photos, very well equipped with everything you might need, if you have a car it will have a garage for up to three of them, but you will have to do a precise maneuver because the street is narrow, with quite a few cars passing by and the garage is narrow. The attention is very, very good from Librada. A very fulfilling stay
Mariana is an excellent host, everything was luxurious, it exceeded my expectations, which were already very high in itself when seeing the photos. The house is very nice, super spacious, full of light and a spectacular location. Beautiful details everywhere, my stay was amazing!
It is an amazing house, super located with large spaces. Ideal to go with several friends or family. Mariana is a great host, she contacted me before arriving to explain, she recommended places to eat and go out for some drinks, in short, she helped me make my stay the best and it was. Highly recommended.
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!!!
We were delighted with the house. Fully functional, all amenities at 100 and very useful for large groups. Good location and remarkable architectural style. They don't tell a lot of people, it's a hidden treasure in Merida =)

Son súper bienvenidos siempre que quieran regresar! Que tengan lindo año :)
Incredible house, highly recommended and Mariana is super attentive!
Beautiful home very close to everything. The owner Mariana is very accommodating. Have not met her in person but made us feel like we have known each other all of our lives. Great house if you are a large group. Recommend using UBER for transportation. They are not allowed to pick you up at the airport , but they can drop you off.
Perfect house for large family. Rooms are separate for young adults and elders with early bedtime. Location was perfect. Close to everything. House is beautiful . Wonderful vacation in Mérida!

Thank you Rosalind for your kind words, please come back soon ;)
This beautiful location was beyond our expectations. It was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday with family and friends.
We had a wonderful time at Mariana's house. The villa is well located next to the center of the town, well equiped, nicely decorated and full of space. We highly recommend it.
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.
This home was beyond breathtaking, provides all the amenities you need and is immaculate. provides great privacy for large parties. Highly recommended.
If you are looking for a true oasis located in the city this is the place for you. My friends and I were in the city for a wedding and were within walking distance of everything. I would recommend this house to anyone lookin for a place to stay.
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 ;)
The photos don't do justice to what the house really is. Beautiful architecture at every corner. Librada made us feel at home all the time. We would definitely come back! Excellent in terms of price-quality.
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.
Host Response
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you had a wonderful and productive time :) you are welcome back anytime!
Mariana’s place is large, comfortable, and has multiple sitting areas so people can both congregate or find a quiet corner to read. It is the perfect place for a large group, plus the location is convenient to multiple restaurants and shopping. Beds are very comfortable, and each bedroom has a full bath. Washer / dryer is also very helpful. Lastly, Librada, the maid is an added plus!
We stayed in Mariana’s place with a group of 10 (5 couples) and the Hacienda was perfect! It’s absolutely beautiful and well taken care of. There are 5 bedroom suites with bathrooms in 2 separate buildings with pools, ponds, hammocks and plenty of lounging areas. The location is great, walkable to lots of great restaurants, shops and attractions. We would definitely come back!
We really didn't know what to expect when we booked this property, but were overwhelmed with how far it exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable and ideally located.
Amazing, beautiful, perfect house. You won’t want to leave!. Highly recommend.
It's a guarantee, the house is as seen in the photos, it's a pleasant stay😊.
This house is very well situated to Centro in Merida and is maintained beautifully. The pictures don't do it justice. Our large family all enjoyed themselves immensely and it was very comfortable. The air conditioning works great and is very effective.
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!
Mariana's house is a jewel, it is very well located, has first-class architecture and design, and is very comfortable for vacationing. The service we provided was very quality and very attentive. We were a group of 10 friends and we all agreed that this ABNB was a great choice. Highly recommended.
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!!!
We loved the house, very roomy and very well decorated. We were a big family and we were all very comfortable. Hadta a crib for my babies had that was a big help. Very helpful and pleasant booked. Very close to everything. We loved it!
