I stayed two nights at Monique's cozy apartment. It is beside the canal and in quiet residential area. It's not so far from the centre and convenient to take the tram.
We could stay there comfortably as if local people away from the busy city centre!
If I would say something, the bathroom is a little tiny.
And if people travel with a heavy suit case, it may be hard to take it to the 2nd floor.
However, I recommend her apartment when you stay at Amsterdam!
