Visited West Coast for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $74/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

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