It's a fun city filled with amazing people and while it's got some rough edges like any large city, it's still like way more stable than almost anywhere else in latin america. There's a ton of hidden gems around the area if nature is more your thing and the surrounding area is really nice if you prefer to live closer to nature within urban reach. Even a 20min uber ride out of the city will get you up a mountain hike and usually doesn't cost me more than 6$.

I have the perspective of someone who's actually moved here a long while ago though and I don't really have a lot of respect for the huge tourism PR move to get people out of the city by talking enormously bad about it, but at the same time I really prefer hanging out with locals over tourists and expats to get that perspective.
