Visited West Coast for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $131/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

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

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

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