Merida trip

We loved Casa Jirafa — it is such a cool and cozy house, especially the plunge pool area. It was also located in a superb area and was close to nearly everywhere we wanted to go during our short trip. Highly recommend for anyone traveling to Merida!

Perfect place to explore a perfect neighborhood

The loft was all we could have hoped for. The location is perfect for exploring Merida with everything close. The space its self was great to relax in after a long day out. It was well taken care of and comfy, clean, and convenient.

This property is a lovely oasis in Centro Merida. It is exactly as advertised. The staff overseeing the property were very helpful and available to assist if needed. The pool was so nice to cool off after a long day of sightseeing. We loved our stay.

Incredible stay!

Everything we needed and more! The place is perfect, location is amazing, and the hosts are the absolute best! They go above and beyond to ensure you have the most incredible stay. Tons of little parks and restaurants/bars nearby. Definitely recommend taking a walk to the Parque la Plancha to wander the paths, see some trains, have a drink, and grab a snack!

Casa Jirafa

An excellent property and well located. The room was cool given the high ceilings and the plunge pool was a welcome addition particularly after a long day of activities/walking. The check-in process was hassle free. The room also seems to be very good value.

Beautiful home, perfect location

The home was in great condition, very clean and the check in process was very easy. Great communication with the hosts and concierge. Having groceries in the house when we got there was so helpful and appreciated. Location was perfect and close to everything. We took a bus to the beach one day and it was so easy and convenient. Would highly recommend

Fantastic Stay at Casa Jirafa

The location was amazing right by Santa Lucia. Owner Michael Cummings & Beto Ortez , customer service manager were outstanding hosts, helped us out a number of times & treated us like family. Their recommendations were fantastic. The property was gorgeous. I would highly recommend Burro y Flauta but better book early since Casa Jirafa is very popular.

Above and beyond in great location!

We absolutely loved our time in Merida—mainly because of our accommodations. Beto went above and beyond in helping us with our luggage, driving us to the apartment and making sure we had a beer stocked in the fridge! The booklet they put together with places to eat/drink/shop/see was all we needed for finding the best places to go. We would hands down stay at any of their rentals again!

Casa Jirafa Weekend Trip

It was our first time staying in Vrbo. Beto and owners did a great job in having the place ready as well as having important information of the property. We enjoyed the stay at Casa Jirafa as it was very convenient to local events, restaurants, events and more. Thanks for everything. God bless you.

Great, comfortable stay in the town center!

My husband and I stayed in Casa Jirafa for one week and it was an absolute dream! Becca and Beto were so communicative and responsive to all our messages. The house had everything we could possibly need and everyone on staff was a pleasure to work with. The house is located in central Merida and walking distance to so many great bars, restaurants, live music and shopping. Becca also helped us connect with a car rental company and it was a simple and flawless procedure. We will definitely be staying here again!

Perfectly located just a block from Santa Lucia, this property is absolutely lovely. The cold beer in the fridge was a nice touch!
