full kitchen with dishes and in room laundry. Was way more than my wife and I needed, for an overnight stay, but would be great for a family of 4 or 2 couples.
The property we stayed in was in perfect condition. Everything was clean and smelled fresh. It was easy to access and located centrally in Dubuque. Communication with Ken always goes smoothly and he gives great instructions to gain access to his VRBOs.Our only issue was that it was more than a six minute walk to Loras College, which was the main reason we chose this spot. Not a huge deal, we just had to adjust some things - otherwise everything was perfect and we will definitely stay at Ken’s property again in the future!

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.
