Make your payment

For your safety and ours, we only accept payments via bank transfer. For short stays, between 50% and 100% advance payment is required to reserve the dates. For stays of 4 months or more, a security deposit equivalent to one and a half months of rent is required. Once your payment is received, we send you a signed receipt as proof of payment.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the process take?

From when you contact us to when you have access to the property, the process usually takes between 24 and 72 hours depending on contract signing and payment confirmation.

Is it like Airbnb?

Not exactly. Unlike Airbnb, we work directly with property owners without platform intermediaries. This allows us to offer better prices, verified properties and personalized WhatsApp support. The minimum stay is 10 nights.

What does the rent include?

All our properties include full furniture, high-speed WiFi, hot water, electricity, gas and access to building amenities. Everything is included — no hidden fees.

Can I pay in dollars, euros or any other currency?

Prices are in Mexican pesos (MXN) and payment is made via bank transfer in pesos. If you are paying from abroad, we recommend using Wise — it offers one of the best exchange rates on the market and allows you to pay in your local currency without excessive fees.

What happens if I need to cancel?

We offer a full refund if you cancel 15 days or more before check-in. For cancellations within 14 days of check-in, a 50% refund applies.
