I loved staying at Jantine's place and would highly recommend it. Jantine is a wonderful, responsive host. The location was perfect for me - a short walk into the heart of Jordaan, but not in the thick of it. The apartment is gorgeous and the little garden a nice place to relax after walking all day. There are lots of great food and shopping options in close proximity. And if you haven't done your planning like me, Jantine has lots of great guide books so you can read up before stepping out.
