Stayed here in Dubuque while visiting my son at college. I traveled with my mother-in-law and it was a great fit for both of us. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was easy and the host communicated clearly. The location made it simple to get around town and to campus. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit.

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.

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!
