Easy directions. Clean & well stocked with coffee, tea, cream & sugar and a few spices. Host provided a binder with great information about the area, places to eat, see and transportation options. Host was easy to access for questions and information. A very enjoyable stay!
Ken is our go to host for our frequent trips to Dubuque. We specifically booked this apartment so we could walk out the door and be in the middle of the farmer’s market. We love the downtown Dubuque neighborhood and look forward to our neck stay.
This place was perfect for my two day stay in Dubuque! Located in a good spot to walk to plenty of things, easy parking, and cozy inside. Thanks for a straightforward stay!
The host was excellent! The farmers market is right outside the VRBO which was very convenient. Overall it was a great stay and would book again in the future!
The apartment was really cute, and right next door to a great brewery, Jubeck Brewing, and the Oolong Asian Cuisine restaurant. The only downside were the other units upstairs, being by the stairs and having people above you was noisy in the morning. Would absolutely stay here again!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the apartment and our great neighbors—Jubeck and Oolong are local favorites. Sorry about the morning noise from the other units; I’ll keep an eye on that. We’d love to have you back anytime!
Ken was super responsive to all our requests, the place was spotless and very convenient! We loved Charlotte's Coffee House which is 2 blocks away.

Dear Tammy,

Best,

We really enjoyed our stay. It was conveniently located to Galena and was within walking distance of great places to go in Dubuque. There is a local brewery just steps from the front door and the farmers market was an added bonus to our trip.
I didn’t spend a ton of time in the room but it was perfect for what I needed, and in a cute little area, the farmers market was right outside on Saturday morning! It was a nice place to stay!

About the host
Hosted by Ken
Hello, my name is Ken. I was born in China and moved to the United States in 1997 with very little English but a strong desire to build a better life. I first worked in restaurants in Chicago before moving to Dubuque in 2000, where I worked at Hy-Vee as a cook and later became the Chinese department manager. In 2003 I began investing in real estate, and in 2008 I left my job to focus on real estate full time. In 2018 I followed my passion for cooking and opened Oolong Asian Cuisine here in Dubuque. Over the years I have had the pleasure of hosting thousands of guests from around the world and have received over 4,000 guest reviews across my properties. My goal is simple: provide clean, comfortable homes and make every stay easy and enjoyable.
