Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.
