Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Adding my experience from last month.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
