Charming Old Town Guesthouse
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Albuquerque
We moved a great deal and while Tempe, Arizona was always our base we lived in Palo Alto, CA; Minneapolis, MN; Durango, CO; Greenville, SC; and Las Vegas, NV. As Tempe and Phoenix grew, so did the traffic, the air quality and all the things that go with big city growth. We looked for two years trying to find a rental location that would suit our lifestyle and fit our personalities. One day, while on a business trip to Albuquerque, Rob had completed a business meeting and was driving around when he saw a for sale sign being pounded into the ground. Rob stopped. Greeted the owner, went inside, called Phyllis and the rest as they say is history! We love our property and want you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as we do everyday when we greet the day. Come stay with us and enjoy the very best of our town in old town...!
The Unique Benefits at this Guest house
La Perla is located in the heart of Old Town. We are close to parks, museums and great shopping. We are a block from the beautiful plaza which has restaurants, the finest authentic Native-American jewelry. We are on the main bus grid and you can be downtown with access to the new "Railrunner" in eight minutes. We have great local dining and great music venues in the summer. We are one mile from the Bio-Park and so much more. Park your car and walk, enjoy the great views, the great weather, and tne wonderful atmosphere of old town! (We do, everyday)
Wonderful park to exercise, walk the dogs, sit under a shade tree or watch the kids play.
History, One of the oldest Roman Catholic Churches in the United States and Autentic Native American Jewelry
Always Great Art, Jazz Concerts in Summer and a beautiful place just to sit and watch people

What a charming place!--southwest spirit, cozy and private. We felt pampered with the fluffy towels, the romantic kiva fireplace and the loving on-site guard dog "Aspen." Old Town is only steps away---just enough to walk off a little of that amazingly yummy Mew Mexican fare. Thanks for your warm hospitality! We'll be back."
