Visited Netherlands for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $149/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $93/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $61/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

This is outdated info IMO.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