One Bus (the 22) away from central Amsterdam. Marijkes place sparkles with cleanliness and the street is very quiet, It's great for getting good sleep. The area feels safe at night and neighbours respect each others peace. There are places to eat nearby varying from Kebabs to Kangaroo steaks. It's not great for coffeeshops if thats your thing. But theres always the 22 Bus into Central Station. Its stand E going back and Marijkes is the last stop which makes things really easy. We had Breakfast and Lunch in Amsterdam then ate near Marijkes for our Evening meals. We did not have a bad meal or coffee. This was our 1st AirBnB and we would recommend both Marijkes place and AirBnB. I was staying with my wife and her 89 year old father who managed 6km walking a day. Amsterdam is flat and quite large by getting to central station you will have access to trams, boats, cabs, trains and even bike hire. Take advantage of the 22 Bus and buy a Iamsterdam card if you plan on staying a few days. The cards saved us £100's with free bus's and trams, a canal cruise and entry to the best museums and attractions.
