Amazing Location steps from Historic Old Town, Museums and Restaurants

Incredible find! Location Location Location. Casa Pearla is a comfy, cozy private two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, two story townhouse with RARE two car garage located one street off Route 66 between historic Old Town and the gorgeous old Albuquerque Country Club area. Restaurants, shops and museums are less than a quarter mile away and the very popular food court in Sawmill is close too! About 1/2 mile West of Casa Pearla is our wonderful Albuquerque BioPark, Tingley Beach and the running/biking trails along the Bosque. Court houses, downtown, UNM and area hospitals are a quick 5 minute drive away.

Guests says Casa Pearla is their home away from home. The space is light-filled with stylish and comfortable furnishings, a smart TV, free WIFI, a well stocked kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, a full sized washer and dryer, iron and ironing board with a half bathroom downstairs and a full sized private bathroom upstairs. Outside is a welcomining covered back patio, verdant side yard with roses bushes and a walled front court yard

Upstairs are the two bedrooms (1 queen/1 full) and full bath. The beds have luxury linens and memory foam mattresses that guests rave about! A great bonus is fabulous terrace off the second bedroom complete with a traditional hanging rista with little solar twinkle lights. The shared bathroom has a vanity with two sinks, a bathtub/shower combo and a large skylight that bathes the space in natural light. Soaps, shampoos and fluffy towels await and there is a hair dryer and even some first aid items too, just in case.

Often overlooked but so, so important comfort-wise is the air conditioning, I upgraded the air conditioning to central air instead of the common evaporative cooling that is still commonly used in Albuquerque (which necessitates cracking open a window to cool a room yikes! and can only lower temps by about 20-25 degrees). Another bonus at Casa Pearla is the two car garage. How convenient to be able to load and unload your luggage while keeping your belongings secure!.

Finally, it is important to me that my guests are comfortable while making many wonderful memories in Albuquerque staying at Casa Pearla. I invite you and look forward to the many return visitors and welcome new guests as well!

Property was beautiful. House was wonderfully decorated. There were fresh flowers on arrival and the host was gracious enough to leave coffee and water. Being able to park in the garage is a definite plus. Location is next to downtown and old town walking areas as well as the sawmill area which is great for casual dining. I would definitely stay again. Host was wonderful.

So many things that we appreciate about this home and our visit to ABQ - a thoughtful host, beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable beds and sitting areas, spacious both indoor and outdoor spaces, well equipped kitchen & bathrooms, in home laundry, a two car garage, prime location near Old Town, markets, main roads, and so much more. The icing on the cake is really the host who communicated thoughtfully both through text and a sweet card that welcomed our stay. Thank you, Alyce!

Perfect location for getting around all of Albuquerque and only a day trip to Taos and Santa Fe. We loved Old Town, especially Church St Cafe. Try the Prickly Pear Margarita! Thank you Alyce for being such a thoughtful host. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine, snacks and fresh flowers. Extra bonus an attached garage! We highly recommend

House was adorable-especially loved the very tasteful decorating style with warm colors, textiles, art and some whimsical touches. The welcome basket provided had everything we needed to launch our stay; coffee, snacks, etc. well supplied for everything including a wonderful fire pit all set up outside. Host checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed! Amazing!

Casa Pearla was PERFECT for our ABQ vacation. Its proximity to the central plaza in Old Town meant that great food, shops, and culture were just a walk away. The home itself was lovely. The host provided thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds were comfortable. All around a great experience. Will stay here again!

Alyce was a prompt and kind communicator. She thoughtfully left chips salsa limes, margaritas and alovely card with a rose from the garden.Casa Pearla was wonderfully decoratored, with art and textiles. It was very clean and comfortable. The beds were just right with plenty of linens for your exact comfort level. The temperature was conviently adjustable to suit our needs. Shower pressure was excellent (veryimportnat for the ladies).Cleanliness was top-notch. Linens and supplies were abundant. The couch and living room chairs were very comfortable and of higher quality. The outdoor living space was quaint and lush with an apple tree, lilacs, roses and ivy and soft outdoor lighting. Truly a garden oasis with three different seating areas and a fire pit. The location is easilyLocated to both major highways,Old Town and the airport.This was a wonderful place to stay and we will be returning again! Thank you!Casa Pearla is truly a pearl in ABQ!Lou and Lisa

Wonderful vacation with a great location

Home was extremely comfortable with lots of space to relax. The location could not have been better- walked many places. Alyce left detailed instructions at the start and end of stay. Breakfast cookies and coffee was a welcome sight. We would have spent more time enjoying the outdoor spaces but weather didn’t cooperate.loved being able to pull directly into garage with opener! Thanks again, Alyce
