I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

How long did it take you to learn the routine?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.
