A gem

My delightful home away from home for a week. The location can't be beat. Well equipped with the latest appliances and electronics, with plenty of tabletop & desk space & seating. Lovely patio. The shower was alright although just big enough to stand in. Nice folks & friendly dog. Arlene, the property manager, was quick to help whenever I texted her. Next time I'm in Albuquerque, this will be my first choice.

Great place to stay in ABQ

Great location, steps away from Old Town, Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, etc. Good onsite parking. Owner and manager both very responsive and helpful. Casita itself is very nice. Spacious bedroom with en suite bathroom, well stocked kitchen, small but adequate living room. Lovely patio. Owner's dog Agatha is large but very old and very gentle--just wants to say hello, get a pat, then go back to sleep. Only caveat is that the shower stall is quite small, roughly 3' square. Overall, we had a lovely time here during our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Perla. The cottage was perfect for 2 - super clean and well stocked. We used the washer/dryer and appreciated the available supplies. The water bottles in the fridge were very much appreciated too. Rob and Aggie were excellent hosts. Don't miss the breakfast tacos at Central Grill!

Okay for a couple of nights

I stayed for four nights in the guest house on the property (owner lives in the main house). Property is in Old Town (Old Town is a tourist trap, but I don't really care). House has a dining/living room, kitchen, and bedroom.Pros: House is within walking distance to Albuquerque Museum, New Mexico Museum of Natural History, restaurants, bars, a bicycle rental place.Kitchen has everything you need (including washer/dryer -- yes, it's in the kitchen -- not good but I don't care because I didn't use it). Bed and couch were comfortable (see additional comment below). There were separate temperature controls in dining/living room and bedroom.The house is inside a locked gate.Cons:World record holder for TINYEST bathroom. Shower stall is 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 ft. (I measured it).Walking from the kitchen to the dining/living room is a step down. The bed is a full size (not queen or king).All but two windows are painted shut (I like to open the windows and turn off the air conditioning at night because it gets cool in Albuquerque at night -- no can do).The dining table needs to be replaced with one that is cornerless (to save space because the area is small and it's easy to bump into two of the sharp corners).At night I normally watch regular TV stations (cable news, sports, etc.) Couldn't do it because the Hulu they have continually cuts off. It's better to not have Hulu at all than to have Hulu that continually cuts off.

The most considerate host

We booked for a 3 night stay for my Mom's funeral. As in many such situations, many balls in the air, many last-minute uncertainties to resolve at a moment when few of us were feeling up to it. Our host was accommodating in every way, flexible with check in and check out, solicitous throughout the stay to make sure we had everything we needed, yet very respectful of our privacy. Memorable in every way.

The property was clean and had everything I needed. Rob was very helpful and Agatha the Labrador was lovely and friendly. Location was perfect if you want to visit the Old Town Plaza. It was also close to a bus line if you want to use them. Recommend Church Street Cafe and Little Anita’s to eat. Noisy Water Winery had lovely wine and nice food.

Amazing Casita

We loved everything about this casita! We were greeted by Rob and Agatha the friendly lab who loved a little pat and then just laid down! The location is perfect because not only was it quiet it was 1 block from Old Town. You can park your car and never have to leave. There are museums, a park and all the shopping and restaurants right there. There is the cutest garden patio which looked so relaxing! But one of the best parts was how nice Rob and Arlene were! Not only were they very friendly and kind when there was a plumbing issue they literally had a plumber within an hour. Rent this VRBO you will love it too!

Fabulous Casita in Old town

The location of this spacious Casita is great….walking distance to everything in Old Town! I’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO’s and I have to say that this is very well stocked with all you could need, they have thought of everything! The patio area is large with many places to sit and tables to eat at or to have your morning coffee. I highly recommend you stay here. You will not be disappointed.

Nice little casita in the middle of Albuquerque

Loved this little space in ABQ. We were in town to check out the city, and this location was excellent. It has easy access to the freeways and is essentially right in the middle, so nothing was more than 20 minutes away, just pick the direction you need to go. But, don't get me wrong, you can't hear the freeways, as the neighborhood is within walking distance of old town, where we went to often grab a morning coffee. But, we also made use of the very serviceable kitchen as well, so we were able to save money by buying groceries locally and NOT having to eat out all the time. In fact, I think we only dinner out twice.Overall, a nice stay, very convenient, and we'd definitely stay here again next time we're back in the ABQ.

Stay here

The casita is a wonderful place to stay in Albuquerque. It is bright, clean, cozy and in a perfect location for museums, the park, Old Town, and restaurants on a quiet residential street. Highly recommend staying here. Owner and manager very helpful, kind, and very respectful of privacy (understanding that the casita shares the property). There is a very lovely courtyard to sit in for much warmer weather.

Literally steps away from Old Town Albuquerque with a ton of shops and restaurants. Grocery store right around the corner & easy freeway access. Lots of coffee supplies and a nice coffee machine. Washer & dryer with detergent, bleach, dryer sheets all provided. All bedding very nice and very comfortable bed. Bathroom had a ton of things provided, including shampoo, conditioner, wipes, sunscreen, lotions, etc. Agatha (Aggie) was a sweetheart, we love dogs. The shower is on the small side & the handle would come loose, but plenty of hot water & enough water pressure. We did get some rain when we were there, but plenty of activities to do indoors. Definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic Stay

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!
