Visited West Coast for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $132/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $56/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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