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

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.
