We had a wonderful holiday staying at Kris' place, it's a lovely space and ideally situated close enough to public transport to easily get to wherever you want to go in Amsterdam, but not so close that you get the noise normally associated with a transport hub.
There's a Bagels & Beans cafe just round the corner for your morning coffee fix, and a couple of nice restaurants offering various cuisines at reasonable prices close by.
I can highly recommend a stay.
