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

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

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

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

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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