Accommodation: Guesthouse near the action. $57/night.
Scene: Better than expected.
Prices: On par with forum reports.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $137/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.
