Visited Cali for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $91/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at clubs?

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

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

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