This place is in a great location, I felt very safe out walking my dog in the neighborhood. Awesome walking distance to several shops and restaurants/bars. It’s a nice, cozy place to just sit back and enjoy your evening. The hosts have many options of places to go visit, the troll hunt is something we didn’t get to do but we will for sure next time we visit DL. I highly recommend this cozy place!!
