Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

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

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
