me and my friends were a group of seven people and stayed at the flat for three nights. it was amazing! we immediately felt at home, the flat is very charming and bright (big windows on both sides and a balcony) and also very clean. the area is very nice too, we once had a picknick for breakfast in rembrandspark which is just opposite the house. we did not want to stay in the center of amsterdam so the calm area was perfect. to respect the other parties with bedroomwindows to the courtyard you have to keep in mind to be quiet when on the balcony after nine or so. that was no problem at all. with the bikes it was only a short ride to the various districts or parks. we met both, femke and her husband, they were very friendly and open and gave good tips about where to go out for dinner etc. we can highly recommend this flat!!
