Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

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

Things are much the same as always 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.

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.
