The backroom is in a great location, in a more quiet neighborhood, but close to Leidsplein and the city center, and there are a few places around the house, like some restaurants and a supermarket. Although it is inside a family house, it has everything you need during your stay. Shawna and her family were very helpful before and during our stay. Everything is clean, the towels, the sheets, the bathroom, and there is a great camp feeling to it, really cozy. There are two heaters in the room, so no need to worry about the cold.
Some minor things that we noticed, but didn't spoil our stay at all: the room is a bit dark at night, and too bright in the morning (but for that, they provide some eyepatches - which we didn't use for hygienic reasons). But if you want to wake up early (our case), it is a good thing. Also, we didn't use the heating plate (stove), because there is only one avaiable, so it would be a bit hard to cook something (we bought some frozen food which we heated in the microwave). Another thing that happened was the internet signal, which wasn't working in our room, but in the house, yes. So, every time we wanted to go online, we needed to go inside the house.
Beside these minor problems, we had a great time in the backroom, good location, good cleanness, nice people, great value for what you pay. We would surely stay there again!
