We loved our stay at Vivianne's and highly recommend it. The place was clean and seemingly recently remodeled. It offered plenty of space for my family of two adults and two kids (9 and 11) and there is a cute playground just around the corner. We especially enjoyed the little roof deck and the big windows throughout. A lot of stairs, naturally. The neighborhood is out of the mad crush of tourists but still close enough to everything we were interested in doing. The amazing Vondelpark is right there and many eateries, cafes and the streetcar, if needed, are all within a couple minute's walk. We really enjoyed organic market Ekoplaza, resturant/wine bar Barrica, pizza at The Pizza Project, and restaurant Gertrude for a special meal out. Amsterdam is family friendly and this place is a great find.
