Travel Purpose: business
Positive: I could never thank the family that runs Caravella enough. I had a bad incident on the Esplanade and the family handled all of it, took care of me, and gave me a room upgrade. They are GREAT, and the hostel itself is also very nice.
Summary: Great management and all the facilities you could need.
