Other things to note
**Casa Omaba is located in a residential area near the heart of Merida, just a few steps from the emblematic Plaza Grande. From our house you can admire the clock of the Municipal Palace, where there are numerous free cultural and artistic events, and you can walk to in just 10 minutes.
Its privileged location allows you to enjoy the city on foot: the Mercado de San Benito, perfect for your daily shopping, as well as convenience stores, supermarkets, minimarkets, pharmacies, bakeries and homemade loncherias are very close. You'll also find cozy cafes and bars, plus being walking distance to the best nightlife in Mérida.
It is also the best area to live the Day of the Dead celebrations: we are only 32 minutes from the General Cemetery, two blocks from the traditional Paseo de las Ánimas and very close to the unique decorations of the Park of San Juan.
For beach lovers, transportation stations to the iconic coasts of Celestún and Progreso are practically on your doorstep. And the best: you can enjoy all this and at the same time work comfortably thanks to the tranquility of the area and its excellent connectivity.
* We have great discounts on stays of 28 days or more.
*Mérida is a lovely city with a tropical climate, which means that during the rainy season (mainly from June to October) intense rains can occur in short periods of time. This can cause temporary swarms in some streets or areas of the city, especially if the rains are very heavy.
We ask for understanding as these climatic conditions are natural to the region and beyond our control. Occasionally, due to gusts of wind, momentary failures in the electricity supply may occur. For peace of mind, we have equipped the house with some basic instruments - such as flashlights and candles - to help you cope with any inconvenience. This is a residential house, therefore, it does not have a power generator in case of a power outage. We do all in our power to make your stay safe, comfortable and pleasant, rain or shine.
**As a good tropical and hot city, it is common to observe insects in the garden area that can sometimes enter the house. These are endemic, non-poisonous species that can appear despite fumigations carried out every 15 days. For your convenience, insecticide is provided.
Repellent is also offered for use inside the house, especially during the rainy season, when mosquitoes may occur in the area.
It is recommended not to accumulate garbage and to keep inorganic waste bagged and in the backyard bin, always covered, to prevent the spread of pests. If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact us; we'll be happy to help.
**Small gatherings of up to 4 people are allowed, provided they do not involve additional guests staying overnight. If held, the meetings may last approximately between 8:00 pm and 2:00 am, provided that they are held in the patio area and the rest and tranquility of the neighborhood are respected.
**The house is in a residential area, so we have neighbors who lead a normal daily life. It is possible to hear common sounds from the environment, such as traffic or activities typical of a Yucatecan neighborhood.
**Our neighbors have adorable cats that may occasionally walk around the garden. They are friendly animals, but they are not our pets and it is not allowed to feed them or allow them access to the house. If you want to interact with them, please check with the neighbors beforehand. We recommend not picking them up or getting too close to them and, if necessary, gently shooing them away. Any interaction with and/or damage to the animals is the guest's responsibility.
