Joost’s place is awesome, as a solo traveler it was perfect amount of space and would be good for couples but there is no door to bathroom as other reviews state. It’s walkable distance to anything you want to see in Amsterdam but being across the canal which is accessible by 24hour free ferry it’s much more calm and quiet. My recommendation book a bicycle as soon as you arrive, it’s a must in Amsterdam. Joost supplies his place with great special touches and personal gifts he’s an excellent host and I highly recommend his place. He also gave me a great recommendation to check out the Straat museum nearby which was excellent.
