Downtown gem
The downtown location and large accommodations make this a great spot for people looking to explore downtown Dubuque. Tons of restaurants, bars, breweries and activities walking distance from the apartment. Large, private, outdoor rooftop. Very large kitchen, dining table, living room, and an additional sitting area.

Reunion weekend
This is the 2nd time our group has stayed in the property, and I'll say it again...we will be back! If possible, every time I'm in Dubuque, I will stay at this property.
100% clean, well appointed, amazing layout, comfy beds. Had a group of about 7-8 college buddies who get together about every 2 years, and this place is just amazing for the group.

Jelly Roll weekend
Five of us (two couples and a single guy) rode our Harleys from central Iowa to Dubuque to spend a few days riding along the Mississippi and going to a Jelly Roll concert at the Q Casino.
The accommodations were fantastic! This place is HUGE and so well done it’s simply amazing. All of the finishes and decorations were terrific.
It’s in an area with a great vib, lots of dining choices, and great nightlife.
Our group absolutely loved it!

Very nice place to stay
This property was exactly as advertised. Plenty of space for five adults to stay and be comfortable and still have some privacy. There was a miscommunication on the check-in process, which is the only reason I did not give this property all five stars. I was able to get a hold of the property manager, and he took care of getting us into the property and providing us with the Internet password. I would recommend this place for anybody who is able to handle the steps. The rooftop patio was a very nice place to relax in the evening and look over the city.

Penthouse rental
My siblings and I had a great time in this unit. There where two sets of stairs to get up with all our stuff, but after we did, we were extremely happy with the place. We had plenty of room to spread out and do what we wanted. Beds were comfy. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and we had a great time.

Excellent visit
The property was beautiful and well maintained. Everything and more that we needed was in the building. Our bed was a bit soft (but that is a preference issue not a complaint). All of the rooms were gorgeous. We enjoyed the rooftop patio!
The only “warning” I would give others, there are a lot of steps to the loft. I mean, one assumes steps with a loft but just wanted to give a heads up to anyone thinking maybe there wasn’t. Lol
We would definitely stay again. It was a great location to visit “old Dubuque”.

Amazing Field of Dreams retreat
Jeff is an amazing host. The Penthouse offers a terrific central place for a long weekend getaway we're longer. Surrounded by lots of restaurants, breweries, parks, attractions, and nearby hiking and the Mississippi river. We had an absolute blast and couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. The only drawback are the loud motorcycles on the streets of Dubuque...certainly nothing that Jeff can control. His penthouse is amazing and has everything and more that a family could ask for for a long weekend retreat. Our son loved playing cornhole on the terrace.
Thanks again Jeff.
What a great property, and a great location. This property was great for a reunion of friends, lots of social spaces, beds were comfortable and clean, as well as the bathrooms. Easy walking distance from so much in downtown Dubuque. Really looking forward to coming back when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the rooftop deck. Will definitely be staying again.

Weekend Getaway
The property was absolutely amazing! We were in town for a friends wedding and had 4 couples staying at the house. There was PLENTY of room for all of us! We enjoyed a couple meals & night caps out on the beautiful rooftop patio!
I saw there was a previous complaint about noise but we were shocked how quiet it was for being a downtown apartment.
Location was great as we could walk to many restaurants, bars, and our friends wedding.
My only complaint was communication of how to check in and where to park.
Overall highly recommend this property!
