Airport transfer:

Yes, it will be better for you to ask the hotel to pick you up and take you to Caracas City. It is not safe to you to go alone to Caracas city.

Money exchange:

It will be very cheap for you if you exchange the money at the unofficial rate. Everything will be around 500% times cheaper. I advice you to not exchange so much money in the airport and just exchange the dollars to anyone else in Caracas. Also, consider not booking so many nights in the hotel. Just exchange money in Caracas city and the rest of nights will be a lot cheaper for you. At the official rate, it would be around 100 dollars per night or more. At the unofficial rate it would be like 20-30 dollars per night. Very cheap.

Private accomodation:

I can also help you to find private accomodation. Rent a room or something. It will be very cheap for you and you will have the opportunity to meet the Venezuelan culture and improve your Spanish Language.

Spanish private lessons:

I recommend you to take Spanish lessons in order to improve your language skills and have a more pleasant stay here. Her name is Teresita Mazzei and she is Italian-Venezuelan. She speaks Spanish, German, English, French and Latin. She has so many experience and she has studied in Venezuela, Canadá (High School) and Germany (University).

She is a very qualified Spanish teacher. I think you can pay the lessons to her in dollars. It will be really cheap. Around 10-20 dollars per Spanish lessons and she is really good.

I recommend you to take Spanish lessons with her because she is my German teacher and I have learned the language really quick.
