The Backroom is a cosy, charmingly rustic space, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The location, at the southern end of Jordaan, is absolutely perfect; I was able to walk easily through the 9 streets, all the way down to the city center, and also up through Jordaan. The street on which the house is located is also super convenient -- lots of stores and restaurants, everything you need right outside the front door, easy tram access, and a direct bus to the airport! And Shawna and her family are lovely, welcoming people who made my stay even more enjoyable than it would have been anyway.
