The location is great. We walked right out to the farmer’s market on Saturday. Ken was very responsive throughout answering questions and refilling paper towels. I would definitely stay here again. My only recommendation would be to use better toilet paper.

Thank you for your review, Lily! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location and were able to walk right out to the farmers market. We also appreciate your kind words about our responsiveness. Thank you for mentioning the toilet paper. We normally provide Member’s Mark Ultra Premium 2-Ply in all of our units, so it’s possible a roll left behind by a previous guest was mistakenly used during your stay. We’ll be sure to double-check our supplies moving forward. Thank you for staying with us. We’d love to host you again on your next visit! Ken

Hello, my name is Ken. I was born in China and moved to the United States in 1997 with very little English but a strong desire to build a better life. I first worked in restaurants in Chicago before moving to Dubuque in 2000, where I worked at Hy-Vee as a cook and later became the Chinese department manager.
In 2003 I began investing in real estate, and in 2008 I left my job to focus on real estate full time. In 2018 I followed my passion for cooking and opened Oolong Asian Cuisine here in Dubuque.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of hosting thousands of guests from around the world and have received over 4,000 guest reviews across my properties. My goal is simple: provide clean, comfortable homes and make every stay easy and enjoyable.
