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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.
