About this house rental

This historic home with high ceilings is approximately 1900 sq feet all on one level. No need for a car as you are right in Centro and just steps from restaurants, and a few blocks from the Main Square called the Plaza Grande. You are within walking distance to so many parks and amazing historical architectural sites. A few short blocks away is Santiago Parque where you can enjoy Big Band music and dancing on Tuesday evenings, or just around the other corner is Parque Santa Lucia with fabulous local cuisine. A few short blocks to the English Library for their home tours, and comraderie.
Enjoy the Queen bed 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home with private pool, and covered patio. Two master suites - Both bedrooms are air conditioned, and ceiling fans are throughout the house. High Speed Internet and wifi extender for the patio, and cable TV are provided. The pool is night lit for a romantic dip in the evening, or to sit on the ledge and enjoy a glass of wine. Truly an amazing location in a safe neighbourhood.
The front doors have glass enclosures to help with any street noise although once you step inside, you will find a peaceful oasis, surprisingly quiet for being in the heart of the city. You will find the neighbourhood safe and peaceful - no loud bars near by - although we do have Dzaltbay Cantina, and Negrita Cantina for music nights within walking distance. There are local restaurants - Indian, Sicilian, Italian, and delicious Pola ice cream just around the corners. There is a local school with the children taught by nuns, and sometimes you may hear the sounds of the little children singing songs - truly charming. There is a parking lot close by for those wanting secure parking if you are renting a car although you don't need a car for this location - everything is close. Walking distance to Paseo de Montejo. The bus to Progresso is just up the next street if you need a day at the beach. - Busline is AutoProgresso - about 24 pesos at this time.
The kitchen is totally set up for cooks, and there are 3 places to dine. Enjoy the outdoor patio with full dining for up to 8, or the inside dining room set up for 4, or just sit and have your breakfast at the wrought iron stools in the heart of the kitchen. All of the dishes, and cutlery, glassware etc are there, and you will find all you need to make some great meals if you feel so inclined. The bedrooms are separate from one another so that you can enjoy the utmost privacy. The bedroom in the back of the home which is the Spanish room looks out onto the pool and patio, and its attached bathroom can be accessed from the bedroom or from the patio for your guests. The other bedroom, the Moroccan room is close to the kitchen and living area. All have lots of linens, and the showers are walk in. There are lots of hooks to hang your clothes as well as closets in both bedrooms.
Casa Lola is a comfortable oasis in the vibrant city of Merida. Our elegant home has numerous antiques and vintage curios from around the globe as well as amenities like high speed internet and cable tv with English chanels to make your stay comfortable and convenient. You will love Casa Lola. The house is close to numerous restaurants, like Apoala and Amaro, and the Gastronomic row of restaurants on Calle 49 just to name a few, and within 2 minutes walk, you can find wonderful Yucatecan, Thai and Italian food. Take a cooking class with International chefs and learn how to make the wonderful food. The shops are amazing and you'll delight in finding lots of wonderful treasures. The most wonderful thing, other than the architecture of Merida, is the people. It is like going back in time in Merida, with warm wonderful friendly people in a safe incredible city, and yet its very sophisticated. SO much to explore in the Yucatan, and Merida is a wonderful base to do that. We fell in love with Merida and you will too.

Please note that most vacation rental homes in Merida often charge extra for electricity to cover the use of the Air Conditioning. The reason is that excessive use can bump the electric bill up to a high charge rate where it remains for months. We do have a pre-occupation with energy consumption, and we are trying to do our part, while at the same time, being fair to our guests. You will not be charged for the 1st - 25 kw of electricity useage per day on average (based on the length of your stay) Excess consumption of over 25 kw per day average based on your length of stay, will be charged and paid by the guest at a rate of 4mxn/kw. The meter will be read on your check-in, and then again on your check-out, and the property management team will collect the electricity overcharge in pesos should there be one. The charge is also to deter guests from switching the air conditioning on day and night when they are out of the house. Please turn off the AC when you leave the house. This is very much appreciated, and in doing this, you may have 'free' electrical up to 25kw per day which is average usage. We do hate to charge anything, but knowing how the energy usage can increase the electrical charge, we feel this is the fairest way for everyone, and helps us do our part.

Take an Uber to Soriana, Walmart, Super Aki, or Chedraui for groceries, or just walk to Santiago parque to the market for fresh veggies. You can pick up coffee and snacks etc at the local Santiago Super Aki as well.

Please enjoy our home. We do have a small library of books, and some games and a Smart TV for those rainy days. We do include cleaning 1x per week, and also a gardener, and a pool cleaning 1x per week.
Enjoy Merida, and Casa Lola.

Casa Lola is a beautifully furnished and decorated property with a private pool and within 10 minutes walking of Merida’s Grand Plaza. The property managers provide excellent support and advice. Calle 66 is pretty busy and noisy but the sound does not penetrate Casa Lola too much. Well recommended!

Beautiful home, great location, but a few repairs for management to attend to. Also, should factor electrical costs into the rent. Electricity had to be paid in pesos at the end of the stay.

Casa Lola is a lovely respite in Merida. It is well appointed with everything you would need while enjoying the beautiful city of Merida. Property management was very responsive. A/C splits in bedrooms worked well and we enjoyed the relaxing oasis of the back yard.

Perfect home location for us during our visit to Merida. Lovely decorating of each room. So much personality in this home. We were quite pleased and enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms are super comfortable with the most cushy beds! Kitchen is quite functional with all the necessities for preparing meals. We enjoyed afternoon dips in the pool on some very hot days! Proximity of the home to sites within Merida was good. We were able to walk into town if we wanted to or could easily take an Uber. For getting outside Mérida into outlying areas, the homeowner, Janis, suggested we hire Argel, an excellent tour guide with Yucatan Awesome Tours. He’s the best! So knowledgeable and such a kind person, too. We had an incredible time. Our stay in Merida really could not have gone any better.

The property is beautiful and comfortably appointed. When we weren't out exploring, we spent most of our time on the covered patio or in the pool. Property managers were personable and attentive. We experienced a little confusion about whether there was an additional charge for electricity (which was not specified in the VRBO listing) but that was cleared up immediately.

Well appointed, updated home within walking distance of the Main Plaza and all other attractions. Manager communicated often to ensure that everything was well. Enjoyed the pool, and the well-appointed, air- conditioned bedrooms. My only suggestion would be to install a mini-split in the living room. It is too hot and stuffy, especially since all the windows are sealed, to enjoy the nice flat screen TV with a great choice of English channels. Also appreciated the flawless high-speed Internet throughout the house. TVs in the bedrooms and the AC in the living room would make a great property even better. Charge for electricity was modest at $45 a week, considering that it was the middle of summer and we ran the AC in both bedrooms 24-hours a day. Will definitely try to go back.
