Hotel recommendations for Photo Gallery:
Budget ($28-41/night):
Hostels with private rooms work well. Look for places with good reviews on Booking.com.
Mid-Range ($67-86/night):
Local boutique hotels with good ratings. These usually have good security and privacy.
Premium ($126+/night):
International brands like Marriott or Hilton.
Guest-Friendly Policy:
Avoid local-owned budget places — they may refuse visitors.
Location tip: Stay near public transport links.

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

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