Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Did you feel safe in the red light areas?

Good info. I'd add that the late night is the best time to go.

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