Immaculately clean. Beds were very comfortable. Excellent location. Safe area. The only thing I would caution is to be careful of the stairs. They are steep and narrow. This property is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Overall, it was an excellent stay. Ken thought of everything. I also liked how cupboards were labeled.

This place was very nice: clean and roomy. The location was great: close to great restaurants, coffee shops and the farmers market on Saturday. Parking and entering was easy. The beds were ok. I guess personally I don't like the foam mattress.

Great stay!

Ken's place was great for the wedding we attended! The location worked well for us to be able to walk to the reception, as well as check out a couple of other local establishments. The apartment was bigger than anticipated and well appointed. The air conditioners in the bedrooms as well as the option of individual fans was a big plus! Ken immediately got back in touch with me when there was a mix up with the parking and was able to offer a solution. We definitely would recommend staying here and will definitely keep it on our radar if we return to Dubuque!

One night stay

In town for a family wedding. Apartment was located only blocks from reception venue. We arrived in town a little earlier than planned and Ken was kind enough to let us in the apartment an hour early to store our bags while we attended the wedding. Place was clean, quiet and welcoming. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Ken

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Ken, and I’d love to share my journey with you. I was born and raised in China and moved to Chicago in 1997. With a deep passion for food, I worked in multiple restaurants, learning the art of cooking, but faced a major challenge—I couldn’t speak English. Since I lived and worked within the Chinese community, my opportunities for language learning were limited.

Determined to grow, I made the bold decision to step outside my comfort zone. I moved to Dubuque in 2000 and took a job at Hy-Vee, where I started as a cook and, within two years, became the Chinese department manager. This experience not only refined my culinary skills but also helped me improve my English and gain confidence in a new environment.

In 2003, I took another leap—I started investing in real estate. It was a risk, but I believed in the power of hard work and persistence. By 2008, after five years of learning and building, I made the life-changing decision to leave my job and become a full-time real estate investor.

Over the years, I expanded my knowledge in real estate, but my love for cooking never faded. In 2018, I merged my entrepreneurial drive with my culinary passion and opened Oolong Asian Cuisine—a restaurant that celebrates my heritage through delicious, authentic flavors.

Today, Oolong Asian Cuisine thrives as a reflection of my journey—one built on perseverance, risk-taking, and the belief that change leads to growth. If there’s one lesson I’ve learned, it’s this: If you want to change your life, make your move. I hope my story inspires you to take your own steps toward your dreams.

Why they chose this property

The Historic Millwork District is one of Dubuque’s most vibrant neighborhoods, known for its unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Once the industrial heart of the city, this revitalized area now houses beautifully restored warehouses converted into trendy lofts, art studios, local boutiques, and innovative eateries. The district showcases Dubuque’s creative spirit with colorful murals, inviting streetscapes, and a welcoming community vibe.

Staying here puts you just steps away from the best of Dubuque. On Saturday mornings from May through the last Saturday in October, the streets come alive with Iowa’s oldest Farmers Market, offering fresh produce, artisan goods, and local treats. The neighborhood also boasts cozy cafes, craft breweries, and fine dining options, ensuring something for every taste. Its central location makes it easy to reach downtown shops, offices, and the Mississippi Riverfront, making it ideal for both business and leisure travelers.
