This little fact materializes in my brain every other Saturday or so. Why not? I say to myself, and also, to you. You could cross the border and come back for the night. Or just find yourself a bottle of mezcal and hang here under the windows’ chaperoning… A very close second. Because the bar in Room U is a special place to while away the night. I bought it from the grandson of the man who brought it over from Spain. That’s a strange thing to bring over, I thought at first, imagining it on the Santa Maria, ocean-sprayed and shamelessly taking up space. But then I met the bar, and it all made sense.” What you’ll find in Room U: –A welcome drink on us –The Malin + Goetz products we have at home –Chemex and local beans from Dark Horse Coffee Roasters –Dining area, bar, and private street-facing patio with high-top seating –Tuft & Needle bed with Parachute linens –$20/night parking available behind the building by request The Space: Two Quirks to Note: \-Room U is up three narrow flights of outdoor stairs \-Because of the large street-facing windows and patio, you may experience light and noise at night; we wouldn’t recommend this room for light sleepers 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 stay in San Diego. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils -
