I believe that the founders of airbnb had Cecile's hosting in mind when they started airbnb.

Cecile is the perfect airbnb-er! Responsive, helpful, flexible and accommodating, All arrangements and final details were easy. That feeling of the unknown dissipates as Cecile answered every inquiry about key pickup/drop off, transportation's etc. She made us feel at home even before we got there.
* Communication - Perfect!

The apartment is true to the photos, full of light, immaculately clean and pleasant. Bedding, toiletries, kitchen utensils, maps, things to do, everything we needed on our stay was provided as promised.
* Apartment - Perfect!

The neighborhood is quiet. Its location is a 10 minute walk to the RAI train station which has access to many parts of Holland and just a 10 minute ride to Schiphol.
The house is also a 10 minute tram from the city center or a lovely 40 minute walk.
If you are traveling by car, its very close to the ring roads getting you out of the city in no time with minimal traffic.
* Location - Perfect!

I highly recommend Cecile's place,
Thanks Cecile for making our stay comfortable.

Tip for renting a car:
If you plan to stay in Amsterdam only, don't rent a car. However if you plan to travel around Holland like we did, parking is free from 21:00-9:00 and on Sundays. Not on those hours its 2.4 euro an hour.
We never had a problem finding a spot near the apartment.
Since we were out most of the day, parking at 21:00 worked for us. We returned the car two days before we left Holland and that's when we toured Amsterdam.
There are hotels located by the RAI station like europecar and Hertz so you can pick up the car at Shpichol and return it there or vice versa.

Tip for Shabbat/Kosher observers:
Kosher stores are located on on Kastelenstraat. A 20 minute walk from the house.
On Saturday we parked the car on Kastelenstraat where parking was free on Saturdays too. Friday parking is free from 19:00.
