Ubers were significantly cheaper than home. Public transport was reliable, and free.

There were 7 of us in a villa for 10. Booked it via the fifa portal with out much trouble. Again- it really wasn’t that expensive.
Good to hear from someone who was actually there.
How about the all-important benchmark of the cost of a beer?
