Frans's place is highly recommended: this by far the best AirBnB I've stayed in. Communication with Frans was superb and he offered us a pick from the airport cheaper than a taxi, which we accepted. The house boast is just fab! Like all reviewers are saying, lots of thoughtful extras made our stay even more amazing: snacks, drinks, fruit etc. The houseboat is so peaceful...with the exception of the moorhens wanting breakfast from gullible tourists; standing at the windows and they will race at you at Olympic speed! We didn't use the bikes, but the tram is 5 minutes away and takes you straight to the station (even on a Sunday they seemed to arrive every 5 minutes). Staying out of the centre might not be for everyone but to be away from the stag and hen parties was perfect for us.
I'd definitely try to book again if I visited Amsterdam again.
