Shawna and her family were very sweet, and the place is beautiful in the best location.
We would wake up every morning, have the BEST ice cream in the city down the block and only a 5-6 minute walk to the central Dam square. All shopping and great cafes are within 2 minutes from the house.

The backroom is a little guest house in the garden of the main house, so walking thru the house is necessary although no trouble at all, even late at night. The room itself is a nice size, and the internet is fast and reliable.
Keep in mind, during the summer the it gets dark really late, and light really early so if sleeping in a little light is difficult, Shawna provides nice eye covers to help.

I will definitely stay by Shawna the next time we come thru to Amsterdam.
