The location is perfect, close to plenty of shops, restaurants and transportation. You can walk pretty much all over Amsterdam from this location. The hosts did a good job of communicating with me prior to and during my stay, they provided helpful instructions on how to arrive by tram(metro) or by taxi which helped keep my friends and I from getting lost. As well as house instructions to help maintain the space. There were two cute curious cats that were very friendly and a cute black dog that had a lot of energy.
The spare room(s) fit the three of us comfortably and there was a nice view of the canal and other houseboats from two bedroom windows. You could see the swans and geese in the mornings an evenings swimming up to boats with people feeding them bread. The main room had two twin beds with a tv and the other room had one large bed. The room with the large bed also had the bathroom so majority of the traffic goes through that room for people to clean themselves up. I wouldn't recommend more than three people stay because you'll feel cramped, three is just the right amount of people to occupy the space. I would stay here again because of the cozy feel and how close it is to so many places that you'll want to see in Amsterdam.
