The location is perfect. It's in a beautiful neighborhood on a relatively quiet canal and street, and a tram stop and grocery store are a 5-minute walk. The views from the windows are gorgeous, and the apartment itself is charming with a good use of space and a large walk-in closet. My host was extremely kind and helpful and had excellent tips regarding restaurants and cafes. Transport to and from Schipol is easy: a 6 euro ticket to take a bus and then a tram that stops five minutes from the door to the house.
