Visited Bogota for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing fair.
Spent $60/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

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

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
