Casa Skylarkin, Moroccan wonder in Merida Centro

Perfectly nestled between La Ermita and Parque de San Juan, Casa Skylarkin is the ideal choice for your visit to Merida. The great room has two separate seating areas and a chef’s kitchen which flows seamlessly into the pool and patio area. With 4 bedrooms (each with a bath ensuite), and two single bed/sofas located in the main living area, Casa Skylarkin can host large groups comfortably. For those worried about climbing stairs, three of the bedrooms are downstairs, and only one is upstairs.

Recently renovated and modernized, Casa Skylarkin was designed and decorated with dramatic and vibrant Moroccan touches throughout, and has an exotic feel. Air conditioning is available in all bedrooms and the living space. The house has an open and light feel, with double high glass doors separating the main living area from the pool and patio area.

Casa Skylarkin is conveniently located only 2 blocks from La Ermita square and 5 blocks from the main square and Cathedral. La Ermita is a quieter neighborhood with some cobblestone roads and the square was originally the beginning of the royal road to Campeche. The church, Our Lady of Good Travel or Santa Isabel, dates from 1748. The zone comes alive each year around the Day of the Dead, which makes Casa Skylarkin the perfect place for experiencing this holiday.

The house also has a washer and dryer.

Guests have private access to the entire house, as well as the designated parking spot across the street. We provide you with basic kitchen equipment and appliances including a coffee machine so that you can fuel up with a satisfying breakfast to start your day.

Also, every stay includes four free beers so you start start your vacation immediately upon arriving. Purified water is also provided. Don t worry if you forgot your shampoo because the bathrooms are equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Hi-speed wifi is available throughout the house.

At home in Casa Skylarkin
The property was lovely. It was the perfect launchpad to explore Merida. The landscaping is enchanting. I was captivated by the bougainvillea in the courtyard. The lighting situation in the home was soft and welcoming. The hosts were so responsive that I had a hard time keeping up. I would recommend this property to anyone (English speakers don't be shy!) Thank you!

This rental is just beautiful. Thank god for the pool and air conditioning as the humidity was horrible. Just a few blocks to several convenience stores. Very clean with so many services including grocery purchase/delivery service. Beds a little hard for my liking but not bad. Stove is tricky and needs pilot lot for use…including stove. Would happily stay again.

Best rental in Merida
I loved this place! Such a large home with all the needed amenities. Good a/c, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, bathrooms, large closets, good WiFi. Plus the patio view was a pleasure to wake up to every morning to drink our morning coffee and make breakfast. I appreciate the pick and play and high chair for my 1-year-old, who loved the home as well. I’d love to stay again when I return to Merida.

Really beautiful property, a complete escape from the busy streets of Merida. All the appliances and amenities worked perfectly and the location was good. The service by Beto and his team was wonderful. Whenever we needed any information or had a request they responded to our whatsapp request in a timely manner. Will definitely stay with this company again next time we come to Merida.

Stay at Casa Skylarkin!
Not only is the property a great place to stay, the Burro y Flautas team is just downright excellent. They sent over a handy guidebook which takes out all the work of figuring out how to plan your time while on the trip and helped us coordinate a one day excursion out to see the ruins and cenotes with a trusted driver. The property is a 20 min walk from the centro and in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Each of the four bedrooms has its own bathroom and A/C, and each feel very private. The fourth bedroom is up a spiral staircase in case you have someone with mobility concerns. The pool of course was a perfect way to cool off and they send a team to clean it twice a week. If we had any questions during our stay, the team was easy to contact and quick to respond. And they speak English if you need it. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, funky unit
We loved our stay in Merida. Great info was provided about local sights and restaurants. Easy parking around the unit. Well appointed unit and spaces. Fans and A/C worked well in the heat. Walking to the center would have been possible, but we did have an 80 year old guest with us, so we drove most of the time.

We highly recommend this home!
Our one month stay at Casa Skylarkin exceeded our expectations. The staff was personable, dependable and very efficient. The pictures of the home do not do it justice with its majestic tall ceilings and thoughtful décor. The beds are comfortable and it is very quiet. There is a nice coffee place and another great breakfast and sandwich place 1 block away. The restaurant zone begins after a 15-minute walk. The closest Supermarket is 30-minute walk away and the Local Market,15-minutes. An Uber will take you for more upscale shopping: Walmart, Costco, and our favourite, Select Chedraui. Within a 5-minute walk there are several bus depots where buses will take you to many nearby destinations like Chichen Itza and Progresso beach. Beto the manager, also connected us with a driver that took us to other great destinations. I must add the streets of Merida are very safe! My only complaints are: the cookware in the kitchen is VERY tired and there was no Cable. The TV in the main bedroom is not SMART making it useless. The TV in the living room was SMART with the one option to watch Youtube, but the speaker had an annoying crackle if the volume was set any higher than ¼ (though I am sure if I had complained they would have fixed this!). Thank you Beto and staff!

We loved this property. We were a group of 4 single older women exploring Merida and the surrounding area for a week. The apartment was beautifully decorated and very comfortable to spend time in. We loved that we each had our own bedroom and bathroom and that there was a wonderful kitchen and seating area for us to gather. We were able to walk to the market, the Plaza Grande and all around the historic center. Any questions we had were answered promptly by Beto on WhatsApp. We’d highly recommend this property.

Oasis in Merida
A beautiful, comfortable place. The 4 bedrooms with their own bathrooms and showers were amazing--especially after soaking in the just right pool. Full kitchen, with two refrigerators, was perfect for breakfast to start the day. Plenty of couch space to lounge and read. Inividual air conditioning units in all the rooms was a must have to suit everyones needs. Plenty of light inside. Shaded and cool outside by the pool. Great location--an easy 15 min walk to the center with plenty of shops and restaurants farther north. The free walking tour in the morning from the municipal building was perfect. Loved the food recommendations. Easy to take the cheap bus to Progresso beach--less than 10 min walk to bus station. Merida airport is very comfortable with great food options.

Dream Property!
My husband, son, daughter and I had a wonderful time in Casa Skylarkin. It was everything we expected and so much more, our only regret is that we only booked for four days and since there’s so much to do in Merida and the surrounding area, we didn’t get to enjoy the house as much as we’d like to, we’ll just have to come back. The communication with Becca was fantastic, we had an issue with our flight being delayed and arrived late in the evening instead of 2PM which was the arranged time. She patiently waited for us, showed us everything around the house, told us about restaurants, shopping etc.

Blissful stay in Merida Centro
Our stay at Casa Skylarkin was exceptional! The property was just as pictured and even more spacious in person. As we only stayed in the rooms in the main part of the house, we did peek at the other two rooms across the garden/pool area just to see what they were like. All of the rooms and bathrooms are all tastefully done with a very nice style and have pristine bathrooms and proper plumbing (no surprises!). Our check-in was super late at night due and the Casa Skylarkin team made sure we could self-check in without any problem. Complimentary cervazas awaited us in the fridge which was a welcome sight after a long travel day with lots of delays. The staff had also done some small shopping for us by request so we would be able to have breakfast the next day, a lovely and reasonably priced service indeed! Becca was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had from booking to check-out. Becca also assisted in booking drivers for us as we wanted to visit various locations outside of Merida during our stay. The drivers were polite, timely, and very accommodating. The location of the casa is excellent as my husband and I were able to walk to many areas easily to see the sights. We felt very safe walking in Merida Centro, even at night. I would highly recommend staying at Casa Skylarkin...from their guidebook(you can view it once you book in pdf form), services they offer, comfortable beds, lots of seating, lovely pool area, a large, open kitchen in which to cook, the amazing Moroccan decor...it was a dreamy stay and my husband and I left blissfully rested and refreshed. This well-maintained property is a gem in Merida. Thanks, Casa Skylarkin team!
