About this apartment rental

Modern comfort in Dubuque’s historic district. Freshly remodeled and thoughtfully furnished, this cozy stay is perfect for couples, weekend getaways, or visiting family. Sleeps up to 4 with a comfortable pullout couch featuring a 6-inch foam mattress, full kitchen, fast WiFi, and easy parking. Minutes from downtown, the riverfront, and Loras College. Please note: Some upstairs noise may be heard; earplugs and a fan are provided for added comfort.

THE SPACE
Bright, cozy living room designed for unwinding after a day in the city. The sofa converts to a king to sleep two comfortably. Separate bedroom with a comfy queen bed, quality linens, and blackout curtains. Clean bathroom stocked with fresh towels, makeup wipes, and essentials.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
• Bedroom: 1 queen bed

I was looking for a place where I could get some concentrated writing down while still being in proximity to restaurants & coffee shops, and this place was perfect for that. As the ad promises, it is a quiet area - and per purposes of my trip the desk size was perfect :D. It also has an excellently stocked kitchen, and I at large felt safe walking around the neighborhood. The check-in instructions were very clear & everything was easy to find. I thus didn’t need to contact Kay much, but whenever I did she was quick to respond. Thank you for such a great spot!

My 6 day stay ended up being almost 3 weeks. The host was wonderful working with me, She provided additional supplies when needed. Even coffee! With my extended stay I used the laundry room quite a bit which was so convenient. I love to cook and this place had better cookware and supplies than any previous rentals I have had. Even had a spice drawer!Bed extremely comfortable. Great experience.
