About this property
Remodeled 2BR Lower Unit | Corporate Housing
Experience the perfect blend of residential tranquility and modern professional convenience. This isn’t your average "basement apartment"—this is a newly remodeled, 1,000-square-foot lower-level garden suite designed specifically for the discerning mid-term traveler. Whether you are a healthcare hero on a 13-week contract, a family navigating an insurance relocation, or a corporate professional on a project-based assignment, this space is engineered for your comfort.
A Space Designed for Real Life, Not Just a Quick Stay Most short-term rentals feel like hotels; our suite feels like a home. We have intentionally moved away from "turnover-style" decor to provide an environment that supports long-term livability, mental clarity, and relaxation.
• Expansive Layout: With 1,200 square feet of living space, you’ll never feel "cramped." The open-concept living area flows seamlessly into the dining and kitchen zones, providing plenty of room to stretch out. • Total Privacy: Featuring a dedicated private entrance, you can come and go as you please without the awkwardness of shared hallways or common entry points. • The Gourmet-Lite Kitchen: Skip the takeout. Our kitchen is fully stocked with modern stainless-steel appliances, full-sized oven/range, microwave, and refrigerator. We provide high-quality cookware, dishes, and a coffee station to help you start your mornings right. • In-Unit Laundry Room: Save your time for what matters. No shared laundry or laundromats here—enjoy your own private, full-sized washer and dryer within the unit.
Restorative Sleep & Productivity Zones We know that if you’re here for work, sleep and connectivity are non-negotiable. • The Bedrooms: Two generously sized bedrooms designed with "quiet-mode" in mind. Featuring premium mattresses, blackout shades, and high-quality linens, we provide a sleeping environment optimized for those working night shifts or those who simply value a deep night’s rest. (Sleeps up to 6 comfortably).
• The Workspace: Our dedicated workstation features lightning-fast, enterprise-grade Wi-Fi. It’s the perfect hub for telehealth professionals, remote executives, or project managers who need a reliable connection 24/7. • The Living Area: After a long day, sink into our comfortable seating and enjoy your favorite shows on the large-format Smart TV.
Location: The Quietest Hub in Town Located in a peaceful, established residential neighborhood, you’ll enjoy the safety and silence of a suburban setting while maintaining elite access to the city’s pulse. • Commuter’s Dream: Strategically located with rapid access to major highways and thoroughfares, minimizing your morning commute to local hospitals, corporate parks, and downtown hubs. • Local Amenities: Within a short drive, you’ll find organic grocers, local cafes, boutique fitness studios, and parks for your weekend unwinding. • Outdoor Living: While the unit is private, you are welcome to enjoy the shared outdoor areas of the property—perfect for catching some sun with a book or enjoying a breath of fresh air between meetings.
Stress-Free Parking Parking is often the biggest headache for mid-term stays—not here. We provide free, dedicated on-site parking with easy alley access. You will have a reliable, guaranteed spot every single night, regardless of what time you get home.
Ideal For: • Traveling Healthcare Professionals: We understand the unique needs of travel nurses and doctors. Our quiet environment and blackout capabilities are perfect for those on demanding schedules. • Insurance & Relocation Stays: If you are between homes due to fire, flood, or a slow closing, our suite provides a "move-in ready" sanctuary that minimizes the stress of transition. • Corporate Housing: A cost-effective, more spacious alternative to extended-stay hotels for project-based employees.
Stay Details & House Guidelines To maintain the high quality of our community and the comfort of all residents, we adhere to the following: • 30+ Day Stays: We prioritize guests looking for 30 nights or more. • Pet Policy: We are pet-friendly on a case-by-case basis!

We had a wonderful stay in Davenport! The house was clean and we had everything we needed during our stay. If you are unsure which listing to pick for your stay you can't go wrong with this one. Our host Delia was very easy to get a hold of if we needed her and that made our trip so much easier knowing we could ask if there were any problems.

About the host
Hosted by Delia
Welcome to the Urban Retreat! We are more than just hosts; we are lifelong members of the Davenport community with a deep-rooted passion for the Quad Cities. As a licensed Realtor, I bring a professional standard of care, transparency, and attention to detail to every guest experience. My career is built on helping people find their perfect home, and I apply that same dedication to ensuring your stay in our renovated 2-bedroom property is seamless, comfortable, and high-quality. Whether you are here for a corporate relocation, a medical contract, or a home transition, you can rest easy knowing your "temporary home" is managed by someone who understands the local market and the importance of a well-maintained space.
Being local allows us to be hands-on and responsive. We take great pride in our neighborhood and are always happy to share "insider" recommendations—from the best local coffee shops and parks to the hidden culinary gems of the Sturdevant and Northwest Davenport areas. We chose this property because of its character and its central location, and we’ve meticulously updated it with modern amenities like central AC and an in-unit washer/dryer to meet the needs of today’s midterm renters. Our goal is to provide a stress-free environment where you can focus on your work or family while enjoying the best of Iowa hospitality. We believe that a great rental starts with a great host, and we are committed to providing a professional, safe, and welcoming "Urban Retreat" for every guest who walks through our doors.
Why they chose this property
When we discovered this property, we saw the potential that only a local perspective—and a Realtor’s eye—could truly appreciate. What drew us to this pocket of Davenport was the rare combination of space and history. Finding an extra-large lot in a central, established neighborhood is a true rarity, offering a sense of privacy typically only found in newer developments, yet paired here with the soulful character of an older community.
The standout feature was the original carriage garage, a beautiful architectural nod to the home’s history. We were captivated by the original features throughout, which provided the perfect canvas for our vision. As a Realtor, I know a home’s "bones" are its most important asset, and this house had incredible integrity.
We didn’t just want to "flip" a house; we wanted to honor it. We took meticulous care in renovating both the exterior and interior, ensuring modern updates—like the sleek kitchen and central AC—complemented the home’s historic charm. We spent countless hours selecting materials that offer our guests the "best of both worlds": the reliability of a brand-new home with the warmth of a classic Davenport residence.
Beyond the property lines, the location is unbeatable. We chose this area because it sits at the heart of our favorite local community favorites. We love being a short drive or walk from local parks, independent coffee shops, and the vibrant culture of the Quad Cities. This neighborhood represents the best of Davenport living—quiet and historic, yet perfectly connected to the city's pulse. We created this space so traveling professionals and families could feel like true locals, surrounded by the same community gems we enjoy every day. We are proud to contribute to the revitalization of this neighborhood and can't wait for you to experience why we fell in love with this spot.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets the Urban Retreat apart is the intentional balance between historic preservation and modern luxury. As a Realtor, I’ve toured hundreds of homes; I used that expertise to curate a space that doesn’t just meet the basic needs of a traveler but anticipates them. This isn't a standard rental—it is a meticulously restored residence where every detail enhances your quality of life.
The most striking feature is the seamless integration of original architectural charm with high-end updates. We preserved the "soul" of the house—its unique layout and craftsmanship—while installing amenities rare for this era. Our full renovation includes a chef-ready kitchen with premium finishes, sleek flooring, and designer lighting, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated comfort.
For the traveling professional or family in transition, functionality is key. We optimized the floor plan for both relaxation and productivity. The inclusion of central AC and an in-unit washer/dryer provides the convenience you deserve, while the extra-large lot offers a private outdoor sanctuary nearly impossible to find in a central city location. Plus, the original carriage garage adds a touch of historic prestige that makes coming home feel special.
Our "professional hosting" philosophy means this property is managed with the same scrutiny and care I bring to a real estate closing. We provide a pristine, high-functioning environment that serves as a peaceful refuge from the bustle of the Quad Cities. When you stay here, you aren't just renting a room; you are living in a professionally designed home backed by local experts. This combination of historic character, modern renovation, and professional management makes us the premier choice for your stay in Davenport.
