I would say this book is good for planning some places to see on your trip to get a feel for what's out there. But when you get there you should really make an effort to ask the locals you come into contact with where they would recommend. A lot of the recommendations I got were in the book but some weren't and it was a great way to see the city in my short time there.

Really liked the informal writing style. Skipped bits, like most of the hotels and the bit on Shopping. Really enjoyed it. Already used it to find a recommended coffee/croissant joint and was wowed by the place. Will be using this as a "finding tool" in the future...
