Visited Cali for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $93/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $135/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
