I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $118/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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

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

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 the outskirts to be better value.
