Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
