Visited East Coast for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $94/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.

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

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $64/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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