Great Stay for Concert

This was the perfect spot to stay for going to a concert downtown. Everything was clean and well taken care of. All downtown shops and restaurants were easily walkable from the house. Would stay again next time we’re in the area!

Charming home!

Had our family with us for a wedding and needed a place to stay overnight. This worked perfectly for that purpose. Having only one bathroom would’ve been a challenge if we were staying longer, but the home is very well kept and quaint.

Great Location

The house is in the perfect location for walking to lots of Dubuque landmarks! We had plenty of room for the two of us and our guests who came to visit. There’s no stove, but the microwave and coffee maker were what we used most often anyway. Great place to stay!

Lovely Home

The home was clean, spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. It was modern yet had a classy look to it. My only suggestion would be to have kleenix available and some fuzzy throws in the living rooms. We had a wonderful stay!

Short Dubuque Trip

Had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The communication was impeccable and crazy fast. I had a group of 6 of us coming to Dubuque for the Irish Hooley and this was such a perfect location to walk to the festival ground, and to so many fun bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and the farmers market. The unit was very clean and spacious, which we all really appreciated.

Suggestions to consider

House was very nice & location was perfect! A couple of suggestions- 1) a full size refrigerator; 2) a closer, designated parking spot (wintertime); 3) the bedroom with sitting area - needs darker shades or curtains - street lights were too bright - way too much light coming in

Worked great for our family!

This house was exactly what we expected based on the photos and description. We have young children who enjoyed the third-floor bedroom. We were a little concerned about the bar next door, but it was not noisy or disruptive at all. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We were able to walk to nice little restaurants and it was very centrally located for activities. Would stay here again if we ever needed to return to Dubuque.
