Planning my first trip to General Discussion. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Colombia?
5. Uber or taxi?

Coming from Canada with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in General Discussion.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Quick question — how was the transport?

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?
