Hostel Porto Salvador, Salvador, Brazil

what can I say .... we had the most amazing time at Hostel Porto Salvador over Carnivale! The hostel is meters from the beach, has nice clean rooms and is a great place to meet other travellers ... but the most endeering quality of this hostel is it's staff.
