Everything was provided that we needed for a short stay. It is a very old building but it was a cool place to stay to be in the vibe of the old part of the city. ( Which is exactly what we were looking for!)The street that this property is located on is very tight for a large vehicle. I drive an Expedition Max and it was a little scary maneuvering down the tight one way street and parking.

Jeff (host) was very responsive and communicated clearly. The property was clean and charming. The only item that could POTENTIALLY cause headache is parking. The property has two (narrow) driveway spaces and provides parking passes for two street parking spots. The street is a narrow one way street, that could be tricky to maneuver with larger vehicles, especially when there are other vehicles parked on the street. We had three vehicles and thankfully never had issue finding nearby street parking, but there would've been a bit more walking had we had a fourth vehicle. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would do so again!

Great Property, Quiet Location

Located right downtown in Dubuque, this is perfectly secluded on a side street up against the bluff. Quiet and idyllic. The house is well apportioned, which suits itself well to making meals in. But it’s also close to several good places to eat. The beds and linens were comfortable and the furniture was all in good shape and well suited to a gathering of up to six. An added bonus was the bathroom on the first floor, which is different from many of these kinds of row houses.

Lovely home! Great location. Would stay again

The home was lovely and so close to everything downtown! We appreciated the Peacock app for watching the Olympics and other movies. The back deck was super peaceful and a nice place to relax. My only wish is that the home would have had blackout curtains in the bedrooms. The sun is SO bright in the morning and even at night there is a lot of light.

Lovely, recently updated brick Dubuque townhouse in the shadow of the cathedral and at the foot of the bluffs. Easy walk to Main Street, Fenelon Place elevator. Older tourists note: all 3 bedrooms are up a set of very steep, only partially banistered, stairs.

Sept 2023 Dubuque/Galena week

This was an outstanding property-- couple blocks from downtown eateries and shopping and off the street parking was a bonus. The unit is nicely updated, very quiet and the queen bed was VERY COMFORTABLE. We didn't need the 2 additional bedroms, but used one of the extra spacious closets with plenty of hangers. The kitchen was stocked well with pots, pans and utensils. Jeff was quick to respond to questions and gave us some local dining recomendations. We stayed a week and would recommend the unit to anyone who enjoys being in downtown locations. A plus was the Saturday Farmers market--- loved it. Thanks Jeff

Enjoyed Dubuque!

Property was in an excellent location to enjoy all of Dubuque. Walking distance to several breweries and restaurants and easy access for day trips to Decorah and Effigy Mounds. The fire pit area was great and there was plenty of wood provided by the owner. The only drawback was the lack of comfortable furniture; the couch was fine but when there were three of us, it was difficult for all of us to be comfortable. Really a great place for a stay in Dubuque.
