I was convinced to book this room after reading the glowing reviews and it absolutely did not disappoint. Truthfully, our stay at the Dutra exceeded our expectations!
Main pros: extremely comfortable bed and very nice amenities (chemex, towels and linens, welcome beverages), the location could not be beat, and the ability to reserve a parking spot was extremely helpful.
Some things that we felt made our stay extra special: clear and easy to follow directions for making coffee (plus they provided coffee to last the entirety of our stay which was a treat!), the lovely patio space, and the accessibility to/communication with Carolina. One example of the exceptional hospitality happened before we even arrived - we got in much later than expected and a friend of ours coordinated with Carolina for a gift to be left in our room to welcome us after a long travel day. Additionally, we had a bit of a parking snafu one night, and Carolina was extremely responsive and kindly refunded a portion of our parking deposit. Carolina and Andrew also provided a number of restaurant recommendations and were quick in answering any and all of our questions.
Additionally, despite the smaller studio space, there were plenty of storage options for luggage and clothing. Plus the outdoor area was lovely as another place to have a coffee, snack, or just enjoy the beautiful weather. We would absolutely stay here again and will recommend it to others looking for a place in Little Italy.
