Visited Netherlands for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $141/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
