Remodel was great! In town on business, home was a walk away from downtown. Only marked 4/5 for family because there is no yard even though no children were present. Will consider again.

Modern updates and very comfortable.

This fine old townhouse has been well updated. It is spacious and very conveniently located. Modern and comfortable enough to feel like home, old townhouse enough to feel like you are really experiencing Dubuque - this is a great place from which to explore the city.
