Did you feel safe using taxis?

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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