La Perla was just right for my sister and I! It is an adorable casita that is perfectly appointed, clean, and in a great location in Old Town. Arlene, the host, and Rob, the owner, are fantastic. Arlene checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Communication was easy, and they were flexible when we wanted to extend our stay by a day. The gate and door are accessed with a code, so it was nice not worrying about a key (though it is an option). The house is across a parking lot from the entrance to the Old Town shopping plaza and historic San Felipe Neri Catholic Church.
The couch pulls out into a bed so the casita could technically sleep 4, but it’s much more comfortable for 2. There is one bathroom with a small shower (not enough room to shave your legs, for reference). A few toiletries were set out in case we forgot something (shampoo, toothbrush, personal wipes, etc.). The house is on a septic, so don’t flush anything except TP and the stuff that goes in the toilet.
The kitchen has every tool you need for cooking and there is a washer and dryer (bring your own soap). Full size fridge, microwave and lovely gas stove. The patio and courtyard are beautiful, and the resident yellow lab was good company outside in the evenings.
My sister and I loved our stay and I would book La Perla again!

We stayed a week in this little unit and it was perfect for 2 adults. Very clean, with comfortable beds, a quiet neighborhood, and easy walk to Old Town, shops, museums, and cafes. There is a desk area and strong internet connection making working remotely an option if needed. There is a private back seating area with views of sunflowers to enjoy your morning coffee and watch all the birds and butterflies - we saw hummingbirds, goldfinch and many others! There is a larger private front patio with plenty of seating to relax and visit. Grocery store is a short drive away. Checking-in and out was easy and the owner was friendly and helpful when needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything was exactly as described and then some. A comfortable casita in a quiet location. Rob, the owner, gave us quite a lot of information about all of New Mexico. If I am ever in Albuquerque again I will certainly try to book La Perla.

La Perla casita is a gem, hands down the best short-term rental experience I've ever had. The casita is charming and set up with everything anyone could want. The host really just thought of everything! I was comfortable, cozy, and felt like I was coming home everytime I opened the front door of the casita. It welcomed me with open arms. And speaking of welcoming. The owner, Rob, is a delightful, friendly man who I am delighted to have met in person. We had some lovely conversations and I look forward to seeing him again. And of course I must mention the sweet yellow Lab named Agatha. What a sweetie! So nice to have a furry friend around. I was also lucky to meet the manager, Arlene, in person. She's friendly and welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. Bottom line, I will be back. And that's a promise.

This was a dream VRBO. The property is incredibly well prepared. If you need it, it’s there. They thought of everything.
The patio was WONDERFUL!!! Extremely well maintained and Rob shared some veggies from his backyard garden.
We had a few friends over during our 2 week stay for coffee or wine on the patio. Agatha, the very mellow lab, that hangs out on the patio was great !
The unit itself was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The bed VERY comfy. The kitchen was well equipped. And the living room was inviting.
Any needs we had during our 2 week stay were addressed kindly, quickly and professionally.
The property is very safe and secure. A beautiful park is located with-in one block. Charming Old Town Albuquerque with great shops and eateries is almost in your backyard.
We have stayed at several vacation rentals and this tops the list.
We are already planning me next visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely stay again, next time we visit Albuquerque. The property was safe and secure with easy access to Old Town. The patio space was well kept and a great place to sit, relax and hang out. Any issues were handled quickly and efficiently by the host.

Checks every box for a five star casita in Old Town. Great location, well appointed, beautiful and private courtyard, comfortable bed, and an awesome host (Rob). The thermostat controlled fireplace was a very nice touch. Will definitely stay again!

The location was perfect for shopping, museum, park. Cute little casita that accommodated 3 sisters. Rob, the host and owner that lives in the main house was johnny on the spot for anything we needed. He even shared a social hour with snacks and wonderful conversation on the patio one evening. I would definitely stay here for any return visits. He is currently in the process of updating the furniture. Go to Lowe’s Country Market on Lomas and 11 Street for your full service grocery needs. It is just a little over a mile away. I believe airport is under 6 miles away.

We so much enjoyed staying at this property. It's overall comfort, it's tucked-awayness, its closeness to so many things to do…
The property is truly nice, comfortable, and safe. It is clean and in all, shows pride with excellent appointed features decorated throughout the home. Because it was most tasteful we were comfortable and felt safe. Rob was truly approachable and kind. Thank you sincerely!
What topped it off was your genuine kindness not to mention Agueda’s (the property’s mascot—an aged labrador) consistent welcomes, morning, day, and night. What-a-treat.
We plan to stay at your property if available in the near future…
Many thanks, most sincerely,
Rudolfo

The owners are pleasant and welcoming. Casita is small but larger than it appears in the pictures. Great streaming and WIFI service. Off street parking and security gate allowed us to relax and enjoy our stay. Outside patio area was inviting. We appreciated the new washer and dryer.

Yes. La Perla was just perfect. The space was exactly as advertised. Location is the very best for exploring Old Town and local museums by foot. Accommodations were just right for my little dog and myself. Honestly, we could not have asked for a better vacation experience. Thank you La Perla. Truly hope to see you again soon. Many, many thanks.

I could not have had a better experience. Beautiful casita within walking distance of anything in Old Town. The hosts were attentive and knowledgeable about Albuquerque. Lovely evening chats in private courtyard. Would go back in a minute.

Tiny but wonderful
The casita is a gem! What originally sold us about the unit was the enclosed court yard...perfect for our dog , Banks, and for drinks in the afternoon.
The kitchen had all the necessities when we wanted to cook at home. The bed was comfy, but be prepared...the shower is small! My 6'3" husband needed to duck to enter!
The location is walking distance to all of Old Town, with wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and shops.
Most importantly, Phyllis and Rob are great hosts! So friendly and helpful..and patient with Banks!
We hope to have the opportunity to stay there in the future! Thanks Phyllis and Rob!

Perfect!!
I LOVED saying at LaPerla!! This is probably the best place I’ve stayed in through VRBO or Air B&B. Location is great and just off the interstate and the casita was so comfortable. It had everything we needed for our 5-night trip. Bed is comfortable with a variety of pillow types and towels & sheets are soft. Phyllis is a very kind host and Aggie provides friendly company.

Perfect Location!
My dog and I were lucky to spend a week in this wonderful place! Very comfortable and well-appointed... I work from home and had great connectivity and there's even a printer. Phyllis is a wonderful host and the location can't be beat.. within a block of museums, a great park, and Old Town where you could spend days exploring the shops (very dog friendly!) and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay... can't wait to come back when the weather is nicer and we can spend more time in the beautiful courtyard.

This was a perfectly located, charming property overseen by two very gracious hosts, Phyllis and Ron, and their sweet doggie, Aggie. It was literally a two-minute walk to the edge of Old Town.

Our dog loved Albuquerque!
The casita exceeded our expectations. The casita was as advertised and the location was perfect for enjoying Old Town and the Mexican restaurants that we love. Phyllis, Rob and Aggie were wonderful hosts and very welcoming to us and our lab. Phyllis even introduced me to a new fabric shop (maybe not a plus for some family members). We certainly hope to return.
