The Captain's house provided a great stay. Walking distance to some great restaurants and tourist zones with in Amsterdam. Arjen also had great picks for places to eat and shop that where not so touristy and had a more local feel. Make sure to read the house manual carefully and mind the space itself which is was built in the 1700's. I travelled with some friends and we had to be reminded of the noise levels and how much the sound carried between terraces two times. That being said, communication with Arjen was comfortable and easy. Awesome host. Awesome space.
