What do people like (and dislike) about Caracas?

"Expats and digital nomads living in Caracas, often appreciate the vibrant culture, warm and friendly locals, and the beautiful natural surroundings, including the stunning Avila National Park. They also enjoy the low cost of living, which allows them to experience a comfortable lifestyle at a fraction of the cost compared to other major cities. However, there are several challenges that expats and digital nomads face while living in Caracas. The high crime rate and political instability are major concerns, making safety a constant worry for many. Additionally, the city suffers from frequent power outages, water shortages, and unreliable internet connectivity, which can be particularly frustrating for digital nomads who rely on stable connections for their work. Inflation and economic instability also make it difficult to plan for the future, as the value of the local currency can fluctuate dramatically. Access to basic goods and services can be limited due to shortages, and the quality of healthcare may not be up to the standards that expats are accustomed to in their home countries. Lastly, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who do not speak Spanish, as English is not widely spoken in Caracas. This can make it difficult to navigate daily life, find work, and build connections with locals," remarked another expat in Caracas, Venezuela.
