Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

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

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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