Check out these amazing houses and apartments…
Colorful, colonial San Miguel de Allende, Mexico isn’t just a favorite destination for American retirees and sun-seeking artists and yogis; the charming city is also a smart stop for Airbnb aficionados.
While San Miguel’s cosmopolitan (and tourist-friendly) shops and restaurants make it one of the country’s more expensive cities, its private home rentals are surprisingly affordable—we’re talking room rentals starting at just $10/night.
Or you could rent an entire luxury casa overlooking the city for significantly less than the price of a hotel room in most American cities. Book a flight for the city’s famous Dia de los Muertos celebration, or plan a winter getaway to enjoy its mild climate.
