We enjoyed our stay. I would recommend the townhouse unless you or someone in your party has issues with steps. It has lots of steps. The house was warm when we arrived, and it took a while for the "master bedroom" on the 4th floor to cool down. We closed the door to that staircase, and that seemed to help. Lots of good restaurants in the area, and it seemed to be very walkable. The furnishing seemed to be in good shape.

Great downtown Dubuque location

Easy to get to and close to HyVee and downtown Dubuque shops and the elevator, Shot Tower Pizza and other places to eat. It was super clean, the beds soft and tastefully furnished. Lots of stairs, but also more spacious than expected. Owners checked in and were responsive. We loved it!

Traveled to Dubuque for a family reunion at Eagle Point Park over the weekend. We had 10 people so with the fold-out couch in the lower level, everyone had a bed. No excuse not to go to church Sunday morning - Cathedral right across the street! Had a great stay in this older townhome floor plan that has been updated and equipped with modern appliances. Very clean and would stay again.

Chose this house because it was close to the family members we were visiting. Situated in a nice neighborhood, the home had a very well stocked kitchen, clean and modern bathrooms and very comfortable beds with superior linens.

The manager was quick to respond. We had some trouble accessing with the key code, but it might have been user error. Manager worked us through it. House was clean and bedrooms were comfortable.
