Good points, clean, easy communication and check in process, plus the outside area is ideal.
Was farther out than we'd thought and no trams due to roadworks, about a 20/30 minute walk into centre depending on your speed!
We did feel like we were imposing on someone else's home with all the personal items, including full kitchen etc. so would have preferred more neutral setting perhaps.
Overall did the job and served as a base for us after a day walking around Amsterdam.
