Visited East Coast for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $125/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $96/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

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