Great location (right on the main canal) in a quiet residential area but near a lot of stuff, and an excellent host. Great attention to detail - went above and beyond, helping us with getting in earlier, arranging high quality/inexpensive taxi service, providing hand towels that we forgot to print, and even printing out a some documents we needed! Joke was so responsive and so helpful - even with our return to the US, at a time when the Amsterdam airport seemed to be going crazy. The place is quiet and comfortable - just be prepared for the winding staircases!
