Back from India. Spent 9 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Airbnb near the action. $48/night.
Scene: Absolutely packed — no shortage of options.
Prices: Slightly higher than expected.
Highlights: Met an amazing girl on day 3 — spent 3 days together.
Overall: 7/10 — good but not my favorite.
Ask me anything.
India — just got back, quick review

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

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

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

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $68/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
