Gijs place was perfect for my husband and me for our visit to Amsterdam. The location can't be beat. The tram is right outside the door and the stop a short block walk. The tram took us to most of the sights we wanted to see and others were a pleasant walk away. Gijs was a great host and has great communication. His apartment had everything we needed and the bonus was the birds that sang outside the bedroom every morning and evening and the canals around his place are gorgeous.
