Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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