Planning my first trip to Guatemala. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Czech Republic?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?
Coming from Australia with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in Guatemala.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
