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!
