Visited Cuba for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is as described. Pricing fair.
Spent $69/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

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.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $80/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
