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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
