Summary:
“This is the room that all the locals book. I couldn’t figure out why, so one day I decided to ask a guest. ‘I’ve walked past here a million times, and I just had to see what was behind these doors,’ he replied, as if it were obvious.”

Our 20 ft., 100-year-old naval train station doors do seem like have a story to tell. Salvaged and repurposed here in our only street-level loft, they bring in the light and life of downtown San Diego.

What you’ll find in Room D:
–A welcome drink on us
–The Malin + Goetz products we have at home
–Chemex and local beans from Dark Horse Coffee Roasters
–Kitchenette, dining area, and private, fenced-in patio off of Beech Street
–A lofted bedroom with Tuft & Needle bed and Parachute linens
–$20/night parking available behind the building by request

The Space:
Two Quirks to Note:
–Because of the large windows and street-level location, you may experience light and noise at night; we wouldn’t recommend this room for light-sleepers
–The lofted bedroom can only accessed via a steep ladder

The Neighborhood:
If you’re still deciding where to stay, allow us to advocate for Little Italy. Locals like us know that Little Italy is bar and restaurant central: where to go if you want a well-made tiki drink or a fancy steak dinner in San Diego.

It’s also centrally located within the city: just a 5min drive from the airport and a 10min drive to Balboa Park, Gaslamp, North Park, Hillcrest, and beaches.

Getting Around:
The loft is conveniently located in the heart of San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood. The area is extremely walkable (and bikeable) — and you’ll be just a few blocks away from the some of the best restaurants in the city & a few blocks away from the gorgeous San Diego bay front.

Other Things to Note:
The Dutra does not allow smoking or pets in room and on the patios. (Though Pet Rocks are permitted.) If you choose to break “the rules,” we charge an extra cleaning fee. One necessary point about our patios: all are private, except for the common lawn on the fourth floor. It’s the one with tiny tub, you can’t miss it.

We welcome you to have (up to 2) friends over to our place until 9pm. We love parties, but for big groups or late nights, we ask that you check with us before you arrive. Our walls are a little thin, so your tap dancing, loud seances, bongos, and even your lively conversation can carry. The same goes for photo or film shoots. Please note that, in both cases, you may be charged an extra location or event fee.

Every stay at The Dutra comes with instant new neighbors. “The rules” are just in place to make sure everyone has the best stay. We can’t wait to have you visit!

Interaction with Guests:
We live next door, and are available anytime during your stay. Our goal is to make sure you have a wonderful San Diego trip.
