I would definetely recommend staying over at Eva & Matias's apartment. They respond very quick to any questions you may have, and the flat was spotless. Decoration and furtniture is quite basic, so don't expect much room to display your clothes around, but it's stylist and you'll have everything that you need (kettle, cutlery, soap, a hob, fridge/freezer, etc). The bed was really comfy, if you're ok with the idea of sleeping on a cloud (seriously, so fluffy; just not ideal for people with back problems as it's not very supportive). Wi-Fi connection is not always great, so you might get frustrated trying to log in to Netflix or browsing on your phone, but it's a minor problem. Even though it's right in the Red Light District, you can't really hear the noise from outside (except for maybe Police or Ambulance sirens), as the windows face some kind of interior patio. You will hear, though, the neighbours coming up and downstairs, as it's only a tiny apartment, and there's more than just one room in there. Last but not least, they're right saying that the stairs are steep - can't stress this enough. Not the best when you come back to the flat after getting drunk and/or high, but every house in the Netherlands is the same, and it's only a real inconvenience if you have problems with your knees or legs, or if you suffer from some kind of physical disability.
