Today, Old Town is the city's cultural center, with numerous museums and more than 100 shops, galleries and restaurants. Old Town’s narrow streets and century-old adobe houses are home to New Mexican eateries serving enchiladas and sopapilla pastries, and tiny artisan shops selling jewelry, rugs and pottery.

There was excellent host communication. We did not experience any issues. Great location with easy access to old town. The Luna is especially for people that would like a view from their porch. I loved taking my hot coffee out on the brisk fall morning to enjoy moments of peace before our busy day.
