Visited West Coast for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $59/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.
