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

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $80/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
