Visited Bogota for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $143/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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