Planning my first trip to Site Feedback. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to the Philippines?
5. Uber or taxi?

Coming from Australia with experience in Europe but first time in Site Feedback.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?
