Awesome Place, Perfect Location

The Loft provided everything we needed for our stay and more! Loved the atmosphere, the cozy fireplace, and the hot tub to end our day. So many cool restaurants and shops within walking distance, and Charlotte’s Coffee Shop right downstairs was a definite bonus! Communication with Jenn was easy and all necessary information was relayed timely. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Downtown Dubuque area!

Perfect place to relax!

This is the perfect getaway for relaxing! Charlotte's Coffee shop is directly below. The amenities did not disappoint. The hot tub located on the outer deck was perfect for privacy. The host was quick to respond for any questions. Very clean and inviting. The washer and dryer onsite was helpful to have. Charlottes Coffee House does have a dining area down the hall from this unit. We could hear some of the patrons while watching a movie in the living room. We weren't bothered by it, just a note for anyone inquiring. We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again in the future. The host thought of everything; Kerig K-Cups and machine (and creamer), extra blankets if needed, Shampoo and Conditioner as well as body wash. Robes were also provided for the Hot Tub.

Perfect getaway

We loved our stay here! Stayed 2 nights for an anniversary weekend. The space is clean and so cozy and the deck with hot tub was so relaxing. We walked to bars and restaurants nearby. We ordered from Charlottes coffee shop online and just walked right down the steps to pick up our orders. We will definitely be back!

Excellent apartment, excellent location

The apartment was lovely and comfortable and in a very cool neighborhood (an easy walk to the warehouse district, which I recommend, the old downtown, and multiple restaurants). It was great being literally upstairs from a coffee shop. Communication with the owner was excellent, parking was easy. We've no hesitation is saying we'll stay here again the next time we find ourselves in Dubuque!

This felt like a home away from home, very historic section of Dubuque with great "city" vibes. Just what we were looking for! The tech was awesome, internet was great even during the storm. Updated bathrooms and kitchen were a big bonus. Most comfy and intuitive VRBO we have stayed at in 5 years.

Grandson’s hockey tournament

We really didn’t want to stay at the hotel with all of the kids so I searched VRBO and found this property. We definitely will stay again when we are in town for future hockey tournaments. I can’t say enough about how great the loft is! We were also lucky and had fabulous weather the first weekend in March so we got to enjoy the deck! Charlotte’s coffee shop is awesome as well. You can walk downstairs with your slippers on and grab a coffee! Parking is across the street but very simple. Everything was phenomenal! Thank you Jenn for being a great host!! We definitely will be back.
