The apartment was immaculately clean and was thoughtfully well-stocked and labeled for everything we needed, including little touches like half-n-half packs in the refrigerator. Is very clear the owners know what they are doing. When texting the owner about a few questions they were immediately helpful and responsive. I will definitely book again when I'm back in town.

Beautiful Place, Amazing Location

We are a couple in our 40s. This place was perfect for us to stay. Easy check-in/check-out process. Very clean. Fully stocked kitchen and nice dining/living room area to relax in. Great location with the Farmer's Market right outside and plenty of nice restaurants within walking distances. Steep steps in the common area up to the apartment, but a nice sturdy railing to hold on to. So long as no accessibility needs, would HIGHLY recommend this place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ken

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it is one of the most vibrant and historic areas of Dubuque. Many of my properties are located near the downtown Millwork District, which has become a lively destination with great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and local businesses.
Guests enjoy being close to the Mississippi River, the riverwalk, museums, and many of Dubuque’s historic landmarks. The area also has beautiful historic architecture and a welcoming small-city atmosphere.
Whether guests are visiting for work, a weekend getaway, or exploring the region, this location makes it easy to enjoy everything Dubuque has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Our properties are designed to provide a comfortable and reliable stay. Many of the homes are located in historic buildings, but they are carefully updated with modern amenities, fast Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and fully equipped kitchens.
We focus on cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful details such as quality linens, well-maintained furniture, and convenient self check-in.
With thousands of positive reviews from guests over the years, our goal is simple: provide a clean, safe, and enjoyable place where visitors can relax while experiencing the charm of Dubuque.
