This is perfect for couples!! More residential area, so you do have a little distance from the home to the center (which we preferred) I think maybe took 20 minutes on the bike to get to the center. However, good grocery stores close by, cafes, and some restaurants. The space is really nicely laid out, and much bigger than expected. We felt clean and comfortable staying here. We would without a doubt love to stay here again! Took us about an hour to get (with our large suitcases) from the train station to the home by walking/metro/bus. We opted for uber when we left as it was better for us. I would strongly recommend this stay for your Amsterdam trip!! :)
