A beautiful, quiet property. So beautifully renovated with all the touches of care and quality. We did not want to leave. Charlotte’s Cafe was our go to both mornings. It was delicious and such a cozy, friendly vibe. Our only problem was being too eager to get into the Drake House. We went to the first door, thinking there was only 1 Drake House entrance. I didn’t think to match the door number with the address we were give. Once we had the correct entrance, everything was perfect! Thank you for a lovely stay!

30th Anniversarry

It was really nice Millwork district with all the history of the buildings and Dubuque has some beautiful old architecture that we drove around to see and admire! Be sure to just go out and explore around all around. Marco's Supper Club was great, as was the Field of Dreams in Dyersville. The only two little things I have to mention for improvement is if the mattress was a memory foam bed it would have been better, and the window in the bedroom with no blind or curtain needs something for early sleepers and wanting to sleep in-the sun was blinding-lol.Other than those little things it was perfect!

Weekend getaway

This apartment was beautiful, in a perfect location, right above a very cool cafe and walking distance to everything. There was a minor mix-up with the housekeeping upon our arrival, which was taken care of quickly by management, who went above and beyond to make right. We would definitely recommend this apartment and look forward to our next stay!Oh and the huge hot tub was a great way to wind down the day.

It was very clean and up to date. I appreciated the gift cards to the coffee shop. The only reason I marked a 4 was bc it was loud during coffee shop hours since the main level was on the coffee shop 2nd floor. This also left little privacy for the hot tub.
