The 10 Best Morelia Airbnbs (#10 Has a Heated Pool)
Looking for the best Morelia Airbnbs?
You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country — Morelia included.
Morelia is the pink-stone capital of Michoacán, with a UNESCO World Heritage historic center and a 253-arch aqueduct — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.
👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the grand colonial home facing the Temple of San José, with Cathedral views — check it out here.

I’ve hand-picked a list of places with nearly-5 star ratings and lots of glowing reviews, most with Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
