Planning my first trip to General Information. 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 Colombia?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?
Coming from Australia with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in General Information.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
