The Backroom at Shawna's place was an incredible place to stay, me and my friend Shane loved it and would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Amsterdam. The location is fantastic, really central and well placed for wandering through canals to galleries, theatres, bars.

The room is perfectly furnished - a beautiful cosy hideaway with everything you need to cook or if you want to make coffee then go exploring as we did. The rain on the glass roof is soothing, the shower is hot and lovely.

We had invigorating, inspiring conversations with Shawna (and members of her family we met) about her not for profit work at Reckoning - your stay here subsidises their brilliant projects so invest wiseley.
