Casa Yerbabuena sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Colonia San Antonio, a 20-minute walk from the center of San Miguel. This is a traditional, Mexican-style house, decorated with art, Mexican textiles and handicrafts.

There are a total of four bedrooms. On the second floor, three bedrooms--one queen and two singles--share a bathroom with shower and tub. The bedrooms open onto a window-lined sun room and a balcony overlooking the garden. There is a fourth bedroom on the first floor, with a queen-sized bed and its own bathroom with shower.

The first floor has a spacious living room/dining area with a gas fireplace. The table in the dining area seats six. There is a fully-equipped kitchen with gas stove, oven, microwave and large refrigerator. The study has cable television and wireless internet hook-up. Our housekeeper comes 3 days a week to mop, dust and wash linens.

The patio garden, shaded by orange and lime trees, features a fountain and a table that seats six. Pink bourganvilla climbs up the walls. From the roof terrace, you can see the church spires in town and the mountains beyond. In the morning, a hot air balloon can often be glimpsed, floating over the rooftops.

San Antonio is a lively neighborhood where Mexicans, expatriates and vacationers live side-by-side. Small shops and restaurants line the cobbled streets. There are language schools and art schools, including the famous Instituto Allende, within a 10-minute walk from the house, over non-hilly terrain. Casa Yerbabuena is perfect for families, couples, singles and for anyone who enjoys living in-town and wants to take an active part in the life of San Miguel. It's not necessary to have a car to get around town--since you can walk or catch a taxi.

  • I stayed in Yerbabuena with two friends this summer and we loved it! It's clean, well-equipped and unpretentiously charming. My bedroom was on the first floor. It had a comfortable bed, ample closet space and a large window through which you can see (and smell) the jasmine, lime and orange trees in the patio garden. We ate breakfasts in the garden and went up to the roof to sip margaritas and watch the sunset in the evening. San Antonio is a friendly and convenient neighborhood and, at the same time, it has a feeling of privacy. There are several quiet restaurants which are excellent and small grocery stores within a few blocks of the house. My favorite Spanish School is right around the corner, on Orizaba. It's only a 15-minute walk from Cento or you can take one of buses that run frequently to and from different points in the center of town. We (all women) felt completely safe in San Antonio. The owners, Mona, Frank and Marina are a delightful family that were easy to deal with. I would definitely rent this house again! Roberta Schine, New York, New York

  • We stayed at this property for 10 months, and would highly recomend it. The house is very well equipped, including the kitchen, which has not always been our experience when renting properties. The location was perfect for us, we could walk just about anywhere. All the beds are comfortable and the rooms are brightly decorated. Unlike a lot of properties here in San Miguel, there is a lot of natural light. The patio and roof deck are delightful and a wonderful place to spend your time. The management company here in San Miguel is very responsive and deals with any issues or repairs quickly and efficiently. We are sorry to leave and would definitely rent this property again.

  • We had a lovely time in July at this property. It was well equipped, quiet, and had plenty of space. The views from the roof are lovely and there are tiendas(small stores) very close by. The neighbors were friendly and no barking dogs next door. We would definitely rent here again.

  • Lovely house and very well equipped-patio is beautiful and fragrant in Spring with orange blossoms.I used the upstairs terrace for morning coffee and the roof at sunset for a glass of wine and view of beautiful San Miguel. This is my second winter in the street and I find it very convenient for walking or driving.And the neighbors are friendly!

  • I very much enjoyed staying here with my friends last summer. The house has a lot of charm and felt authentically Mexican to me in its design (the enclosed patio garden with its citrus trees and outdoor staircase to the roof terrace; the tile work in kitchen and bathrooms; the ironwork on the windows). The décor is very colorful and inviting, especially the bedrooms. (My bed was very comfortable, to mention a prosaic but important detail. I slept in the red bedroom overlooking the street on the second floor, where I could open the French doors to let the cool night air sweep in – and hear the roosters crow!) We ate our breakfasts on the roof, savoring the view – the air is so crystal clear that everything looks etched. The kitchen was a pleasant room to spend time in cooking -- it was well laid out for the 3 of us to work together. The house is close enough to el Centro that I walked virtually everywhere (except when I’d bought a lot of groceries or when I came home alone late at night – there’s one stretch of road that felt a bit too dark and quiet to me). I definitely recommend walking (in comfortable, sturdy shoes) to get to know San Miguel! The neighborhood, San Antonio, is interesting to wander around in its own right (guide books will mostly tell you about what’s in el Centro). Talk about local flavor -- a woman living a couple of doors down sold fresh-squeezed orange juice in the morning (you bring your own pitcher). Assuming she still does that, one of the American neighbors can point the house out to you if like me you only speak a few words of Spanish.
