First of all, Glendon is highly responsive and he usually replies my emails within minutes, except when there was a time difference before my travel. His place is only a few minutes walk from the tram station and it'll only take 10-15 mins to the "downtown area" such as Dam Square/Centraal Station. The neighborhood is also very quiet and safe. Glendon is a very nice and welcoming host, he greeted and checked me in personally (I think he does that for all the guests staying at his place), and he made me a cup of coffee while telling me the "must see/visit" attractions in Amsterdam and nearby region. Not only his place has all the amenities needed, he also provides breakfast which you can help yourself with - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and milk etc. The bedroom has its own sink which is pretty convenient and the bed is very comfortable as well. I would highly recommend solo-travelers to stay at his place when visiting Amsterdam.
