For me personally, safe places to go and clean places to go and eat. You could say that I am more about the comfort rather than the adventure. Tips and tricks on how to use public transit without getting me into trouble would be good. I am also big on food and would love to hit the finest restaurants (budget and cleanliness in check).

so points of interest plus nearby attractions and places to eat all in one page?

I believe most guides/sites already the general points of interest and nearby attractions. The issue for me with those is that it's not entirely personalized to my needs and taste (comfort, luxury and convenience).
I know friends who are into street food, living in hostels and being fully immersed in the culture. For myself, I prefer living in more comfortable hotels and eating at restaurants. Seems like the guides out there are either very generic or catered to my friends who are more adventurous. But nothing for the slightly conservative, affordable luxury traveller.
