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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
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.

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