This was our first time visiting San Miguel and I’m so glad we chose Lynn’s place. The location was perfect and within walking distance to all the major attractions, restaurants, and galleries. The unit has everything that you would need including a washer and dryer.. The bed was so comfy and the sheets so soft they we slept like babies every night.

California, Stayed in Casita Centro

Lynn’s house is professionally managed and it shows! The house itself is very well located, comfortable, exquisitely decorated and a really nice stay. We even decided just to extend out stay.

Eliane

Mexico City, Stayed in Casa de la Vista

It’s a great little apartment with a location and view that can’t be beat!! We stayed for 2 weeks and had plenty of room and liked the apartment. Lynn and staff were incredibly communicative and helpful, even on a holiday! hot water in the shower, awesome rooftop, walking distance to everything. 10/10 would recommend.

Elizabeth

Portland, Stayed in Frida

This was such a nice apartment to stay in for a few days during my trip to San Miguel de Allende. It’s really close to everything but still on a quiet street away from the bustle.
It has a great rooftop and a common area with a patio table. I cooked several times and the kitchen had everything I needed. I definitely recommend making this your home base when you go to San Miguel!
