Great place with great hiking possibilities nearby. Stayed 1,5 month. A car is definitely needed to go to the hiking areas. Overall I had a lot of fun and there are endless things to do, but this place is expensive. I would recommend a short visit of max. 2 weeks.

It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main). Wouldn't recommend staying there during the burning season. The best area is Nimman, but it's also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that's very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets. Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.
