A Tour of Our Airbnb in Mérida, Yucatan!

Рет қаралды 1,380

Күн бұрын

For our 6th location in Mexico, we headed west from Valladolid to the oldest Spanish colonial city of Mérida, Yucatán. Our Airbnb is a 3 bedroom single story colonial home in Mérida's first barrio mágico, La Ermita. It's got a lot of character and is only a few blocks from Plaza Grande in Centro. We somehow also found a cat to feed.

Omgosh what a sweet little kitty. That would make the airbnb perfect for me.

@GringosRUs 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, not sure how she is going to adjust to us not being around anymore, but she had three months of being pampered. LOL Thanks Julie

Cool Colonial Digs! Pool, AC, three bedrooms, plus you are going into the cooler Season now. Great doors, cathedral ceilings and a new kitty........I think after three months there, you will fell so at home you won't want to leave, Another great adventure

Yeah Tom, that is one of the reasons that we financially commit to the Airbnb's for the next year. It literally forces us to have to keep on our schedule. LOL. This is really such a cool house in so many ways.

@cindyk3076 11 ай бұрын

What a cool house! I've never seen screen doors on a bedroom before, that mirror was very pretty, 9' or 10' doors, love the high ceilings. The kitchen looks well-stocked. Wow, I misjudged the height of the doors! That looks like a wonderful home!

@GringosRUs 11 ай бұрын

It really is something different. There are a lot of open windows, so I think that the screen doors are to keep the little flying pests out of the rooms. Everywhere you turn here, there is just something to behold. We love it!

Thanks. Nope, that is why we bought some food for Cielo. We do love this house and are having a blast here in Merida so far. Hard to believe that we are already half way through a three month stay.

LOL, running that one mini-split 24/7 is going to cost you a small fortune. I'll be waiting to see that CFE bill.

@GringosRUs 11 ай бұрын

Your wish is granted. We found the bill in the mailbox today. It's about 4000 pesos or about $235 for 2 months. Yeah, that is high, but by comparison, it is less than half of what we paid in the USA. In fact, if we weren't on a budget plan, our electricity in the summers would have been over $400 a month.

@troymills9437 11 ай бұрын

@@GringosRUs - everything is relative. I lived in Texas for 22 years where my summer electric bill always exceeded $400/month. Here, in the central highlands of Mexico, it rarely exceeds $7.50/month. My bimonthly bill generally is around 275 pesos. After a few years here you will cringe at the thought of having paid 4000 pesos to CFE.

@@GringosRUs I would love that. I love that you guys are seeing so much of Mexico before picking a location to land. What an amazing experience. I would do the same if I did not have three cats that hate traveling, but we’re all happy here in very sweaty Mérida!

@@DenLD It is amazing how Merida seems to be a cat city versus the parts of Mexico that we have seen so far and the number of dogs. Let us know the what is a good time for you. Gina is still in limbo as I think she has one or two weeks left of work.

At the moment (this is Gina) I am contracted until the end of this month and unless something changes, I will be free every day in October! LOL I'll keep you posted. We still have some pueblo magicos and archaeological sites to visit that are reserved for the weekends at the moment, but I will gladly move those to weekdays if I'm not working. We also have MUCH of Merida to explore!

There is a lady that bought a home in Centro, she's remodeling it

@GringosRUs 11 ай бұрын

There are a lot of homes being remodeled here in Centro. There is one right down the street next to the tienda that is going to be stunning when they complete it, from what I have been able to see so far.

If something is going to hit your carousel kind of want it to be butterfly’s and not rocks. . In Alberta you need to replace your windshield almost every summer because they use gravel and stuff all winter and early spring on the snowy frosty roads.

So very true Laura. A good hose job and they are gone. Not the same with gravel.

Hi guys, I have been following your KZfaq channel about Merida and Progreso as we come here often.. We booked an Airbnb in Centro for a month but we are not impressed. We would like to find something else.for future trips and were wondering if we could contact the managers of the home that you rented in Merida. Are you still in Progreso? I enjoy your videos and we are friends of Paulette and Mark who we will contact while we are here. It is too hot for Paulette,I know but we travel through Mexico a lot but always gravitate back here. My husband did a video with them about a year ago called Larry and Diane. Thanks guys, Diane

@GringosRUs 7 ай бұрын

Thanks Diane, We used a company called Safehouse Merida. They were very responsive and great to work with. We just landed today in Playacar for 7 weeks and then we are off to Tulum for 7 weeks. Thanks for the kind words about our videos. Gina does a great job putting them together and she just keeps getting better. I think I remember that video you mentioned with Marc and Paulette. They are great!

Do you want a colonial home? Has it remained cool in the rooms without AC? Shopping been good?

@GringosRUs 11 ай бұрын

There are a plethora of homes for sale here in Centro Christi. Some just need a little work, some need a whole lot. But you can see the potential in so many of them.
