The house is huge and has a well equipped kitchen and lovely patio and pool, which is very clean. The master bedroom is up a spiral staircase, but is very large and quieter than downstairs. But the master bath is up another 6 steps. Ok for young families, but not for us. We used the downstairs bedroom and bath on a daily basis, however we used the upstairs bath for showers. It was much bigger and had a better shower. The biggest issue was the traffic noise. Even after closing all the doors between the main dining, kitchen, living area and the front of the house, at times the traffic noise was really loud. Nothing to be done about it. That is Merida in certain areas. Just happens to be a busy street. I would still recommend it, but if you are sensitive to noise, just be aware.

The location is perfect for walking into the central square of Historic Merida. The swimming pool and air conditioning came in quite handy since it was unseasonable hot during our January visit. I found the local contact quite helpful with a couple of tiny issues that came up. The house keeper was also very nice and helpful. I would stay here again.

Responsive owners, beautiful spot, easy to park, groceries a couple blocks away, main square just a few more, pool was delightful.

My husband and I have visited Merida many times. This was our first time trying VRBO. We found this home on VRBO and fell in love. It was central to everything we wanted to do, and at the same time we had our very own little paradise to come back to every night. We had everything we could possibly need. I can't wait to do this again next year! A great escape from the North East cold! Thank you Tom and Michele for providing such a beautiful and comfortable home for vacationers like us.

My husband,our 20 year old son, and I enjoyed 3 days at Casa Carambola, located just 6 blocks or so from Historico Centro in Merida, Yucatan . It was a fantastic trip in every way! The house has been restored beautifully! The original pasta tile floors aND colonial style doors are just some of the architectural elements that make this house so special. As travelers we were delighted with how well set up and equipped it was.We truly only needed to bring our own clothes and toiletries. Everything needed is there! Although there is a plethora of excellent restaurants within walking distance, the kitchen is fully loaded and ready for cooking....and the Mexican style dishes are lovely. The laundry room is wonderful, with full sized washer and dryer. Even in November we enjoyed the pool! The walled garden and swimming pool area was a relaxing retreat. ..We walked into Historico Centro each day and again at night. .It's the perfect location for exploring and sampling authentic Meridian life! We can't wait to go back. .we loved it! Thank you Tom and Michele for opening your house up to us!
