Nice, Cozy, Clean and Conveniently Located
The house was perfect for our needs. We really liked how close it is to downtown while still in a nice, grassy neighborhood. The house was clean and roomy enough for the two of us. We visited area sites in Dubuque and surrounding towns. The Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium were wonderful, along with the Arboretum, Elevator Co., and the Eagle Point Park. We also went to St. Luke’s United Methodist Church to view the Tiffany stained glass windows, which are amazing. Truly enjoyed the Brazen Open Kitchen Restaurant downtown. We will recommend Dubuque to our kids, to bring their two young children, for the wonderful things to see and do. And, will recommend this house.

Perfect well kept-up home away from home for me while I had a meeting at one of the nearby university. It is on a street between the universities. Close to hospitals and down town as well as hospitals. Owner was very responsive and helpful.

Nice Place
I didn’t read the fine print very well so didn’t realize there was no soap or shampoo to shower with. I have not had to supply this in a VRBO for years. Since there is no central air, it would be much more comfortable if the second bedroom had a ceiling fan.

Rob’s house was perfect for my husband, seven year old son and me. We really appreciated the extra blankets to cover up with while we watched tv and the bowl of snacks that my husband and son devoured (sorry! They don’t get stuff like that often so they went a little wild). We appreciated the ease of check in and out and the proximity to everything in town. Wild stay here again!

Great spot in Dubuque
This house was perfect for a recent stay in Dubuque. The house was clean and comfortable and so much better than a hotel. I saw an earlier comment about traffic noise and there is some of that but I am renting in a city, not rural location and it was nothing unusual in my opinion. The house is well equipped with towels and all kitchen items necessary for a comfortable stay. The complimentary coffee was a nice surprise. Would definitely stay here again when traveling to Dubuque.
