Looking for the best Puebla 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 — Puebla included.

Puebla is a UNESCO World Heritage city famous for Talavera tiles and mole poblano, with the Popocatépetl volcano on the horizon — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.

👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the two-bedroom apartment with a rooftop terrace in the Historic Center — check it out here.

The tricky part is that many of the prettiest homes in Puebla’s Historic Center come with lots of stairs, no AC and no parking. That’s where I come in!

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