Australia trip report — 12 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Train from the airport was simple. Hotel was clean and central.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Prices seemed fair.
Days 3-3: Hit my stride. Found my rhythm. The downtown area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $30-60 range. Better deals during the week.
Tips: Bring cash in small bills.
Return? Absolutely — already planning next trip.

Not sure I agree about that area. Found the outskirts better value.

This info might be outdated. Things changed since the pandemic. Prices are actually lower now.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
