Each of the bedrooms plus the kitchen/living room had their own air conditioning which was nice considering some family did not like it too cold despite the warm humid weather. The living space A/C was also a air purifier & this was helpful for the allergy sufferer in our party. Although we did not have children or pets in our party, the house was ready to accommodate them with plenty of games, age appropriate books, baby bottles plus a pet water bowl & trash bags for dog walking. The porch is close to the sidewalk and we enjoyed waving and briefly chatting with all the walkers & runners. The house has a huge new washer & dry in the basement. The stairs are a little steep to the basement but were easily managed by our group. We also enjoyed the combo drip & Keurig coffee pot. Everyone could easily make their favorite hot beverage. Best of all the house was convenient to all the activities in Dubuque & Galena plus many grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Thank you, Rylea, for sharing your home.
