    The apartment was so cute and well decorated! It was very quiet, and the deck was a great place for meals and relaxing. You’re right downtown and close to everything! Susie was very quick to respond and the check-in and checkout process were a snap.

    Our family had a great stay here. The location was so convenient, clean, spacious. and a treat from the cafe below was a nice perk. I rarely have no complaints and I have zero! Loved it and would stay again. The Saturday morning farmers market across the street was nice too.

    Everything was clean and bright! The host was very responsive. The proximity to the museum made this a perfect stay for us! And the Lefse Lodge is downstairs. As guests of the property, we received a complimentary coffee and pastry! The smell from downstairs was incredible.

    My daughter and I had an extremely good experience staying at this property. it was well located, close to downtown on a one way street. The home was exceptionally clean and well equipped; the beds and linens were very comfy. There's a great sun porch on the back of the house. We had extremely good weather during our visit so enjoyed using this space. Our hostess was very accommodating and easy to contact.I would definitely recommend this property.

    The Water Street Flat is fantastic place in a great location.Let me start by saying that the Host was fabulous and very accommodating to our needs. My 9-year-old daughter even stated that whoever owns this place must be awesome, and she was right.The place itself was comfortable, clean and the furniture was very well laid out from the kitchen to the bedrooms. Speaking of the kitchen, it had everything that you needed. We stayed a whole week and for the times we did not go out to eat, we stayed home and it felt as close as you could get to being in my own kitchen from making crepes to steaks. The internet was solid and could handle four computers gaming Fortnite at once. There was plenty of room to spread out for my family of seven and play games or just relax and with two wonderful bathrooms (one with a tub and the other with a shower) everyone could get ready in a short amount of time for a night on the town.Location-wise, you cannot beat this spot. You have access to a number of local churches within a short walk, the library is a great resource for entertaining kids also a brisk walk away and then shopping in local downtown Decorah is right at your doorstep. Great restaurants abound with the Lefse Lodge Kafe right under foot and a late evening trip to the Sugar Bowl for ice cream just three doors down.Overall I highly recommend the Water Street Flat and know that when I make return trips to Decorah, it will be my destination again.

    This property was absolutely perfect! The owners have thoughtfully set up the space and we had everything we needed. The location is fantastic to explore the downtown area and the views from the property are lovely with lots of windows and light. If you like the smell of lefse cooking, you will get free smells from the bakery below.

    We enjoyed our stay and wish we had more time. One night was not enough time to see and do everything. Nice, roomy place with 2 bathrooms. We were disappointed the Lefse Lodge below was closed on Sundays and closes at 2 pm on Saturday so we missed out on Norwegian goodies. We will have to come back and we would definitely stay here again. Love the location.

    Our family of 7 had a wonderful and very comfortable stay. The free coffee and pastry each morning from the Lefsa Lodge was a perfect morning treat. The flat is located on the main strip near many fun stores. We enjoyed the rock store Magic Morpho and the farmers market (right across the street). Mabe's Pizza was amazing! We also enjoyed Dunning Springs and the ice caves only a 3 minute drive. Highly recommended.

Close to stores, restaurants, bars as well as the school, museum, etc. You can sit on the back deck and listen to the music at the Saturday Farmer’s Market and visit it to pick up delicious treats, etc. Would definitely stay again - thank you!

    Everything we could ask for when meeting in the middle with friends from the Twin Cities. If you can climb a flight of stairs you will find a clean, nicely decorated, 2 bed, 2 bath quiet apartment in walking distance of restaurants, shopping, ice cream, and museums. Susie was quick to respond to a parking matter. She's a great hostess. This was our second stay and we will return.
