Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
