Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
