The location is outside of the touristy area of city center, but is in the perfect location to use the trams or walk/bike.
Personally, I enjoyed the location because it is a lot more quiet and private. I would highly recommend getting a tram pass and/or a bicycle. Don’t use cabs and use Uber sparingly if you have to. Vondel park is literally right across the canal making it so easy to plan a picnic or just mess around in the park. There’s a coffee shop around the corner and a few grocery stores within two blocks. My girlfriend and I are vegan and it was no problem finding great places to eat or getting groceries nearby. The studio is small but perfect for a couple or a lone traveler. My phone had some serious issues so the lack of communication was all on my side. Make sure to travel with an unlocked phone !
