Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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