My fiancée and I stayed here for our anniversary, and we absolutely loooved Carolina’s home! The Dutra is surely a top 5 stay in downtown San Diego. The atmosphere of Little Italy is so lively, but it’s at the edge of the block so we had no issues getting in and out of the place. There are a multitude of noise issues (it’s downtown, anywhere you stay will be noisy) but Carolina does an excellent job if providing things to help mitigate those noises! There are earplugs & a white-noise machine to help sleep go smoother. Also, there is a bluetooth speaker kept on-site that also helped us sleep better. I will definitely be coming back.
