The host, view and atmosphere of this place was phenomenal!!!
This host has done a fantastic job at creating a simplified process for check-in, options and suggestions for the duration of your stay, quirks about the unique space, and the story behind The Dutra. I wish more AirBnB hosts made things this simple and easy. I only got to stay 1 night, which made it really expensive by the time you add all the fees and cleaning, but I had to experience it as one of my stops on my 45 day sabbatical journey! It is accurately described in every way. I always sleep with a sleep mask, so if you didn't have one, I would make sure you do as the space is not very dark at all at night. I highly recommend paying for the $15 a night parking to reduce your stress on finding somewhere to park on the street and then pay thru a parking meter. It is downtown and very noisy with the trolley, train, music & bands, people, along with the hustle and bustle of happenings in Little Italy but it does simmer down after midnight. I did make use of the ear plugs for half the night that the host provides. I stayed put and just enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful space outside of my walk to eat Italian food on the patio for dinner!
I really enjoyed the simplicity of the space and the beverage the host left in the refrigerator for me. It was a nice touch to come from my long drive from Texas and just unwind in the chair in the living room!
Thanks to The Dutra for contributing to my expedition!
