Ken was very quick to respond to questions and was on site throughout our stay. He asked us if we needed anything and if we were comfortable during our stay. Would stay again if we return to Dubuque.
This is my second time staying in one of Ken’s places. Very clean and GREAT location. Ken is a great host and will make sure your stay is a good one.

Hi Tammie,
Thank you for choosing to stay with us again! I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit and appreciated the cleanliness and location. I’m here to ensure you have a great experience every time. Looking forward to your next stay!
Best regards, Ken
Very centrally located (the farmers market is quite literally outside the door) and a perfect space for solo travel. Had some trouble connecting to the wifi, messaged Ken, and he immediately fixed the problem. 5 stars

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location
I had to reach out the morning of our stay to the host to get information for check in. On top of that our last night we discovered that parking lot was taped off with no communication to us as to why, and that was the space we paid to rent. The next morning we come to find out that they were painting the lines in that lot, but again the host had never communicated that to us.

About the host
Hosted by 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.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it is one of the most vibrant and historic areas of Dubuque. Many of my properties are located near the downtown Millwork District, which has become a lively destination with great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and local businesses. Guests enjoy being close to the Mississippi River, the riverwalk, museums, and many of Dubuque’s historic landmarks. The area also has beautiful historic architecture and a welcoming small-city atmosphere. Whether guests are visiting for work, a weekend getaway, or exploring the region, this location makes it easy to enjoy everything Dubuque has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Our properties are designed to provide a comfortable and reliable stay. Many of the homes are located in historic buildings, but they are carefully updated with modern amenities, fast Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and fully equipped kitchens. We focus on cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful details such as quality linens, well-maintained furniture, and convenient self check-in. With thousands of positive reviews from guests over the years, our goal is simple: provide a clean, safe, and enjoyable place where visitors can relax while experiencing the charm of Dubuque.
