Maaike's apartment was exactly what we were looking for. My son and I were staying in Amsterdam for 4 days on our way to Berlin. We wanted a place that was convenient but not in the middle of the all the action. A few tram stops away from the main station we were able to get to everything.
The place itself is a small studio and looks like in the pictures. Maaike did a good job of moving her things out of the way so we had room for our things. Ideally this place is best for a couple or single traveler, but my son was comfortable on the couch. She also left us a pocket guide book, which was useful, and some tips about good coffee in the neighborhood. We had a great time and this worked for us.
