The location of Jesse's place was stellar -- we were easily able to walk and take the streetcar wherever we needed to go. Being able to walk to Vondelpark in 5 minutes enabled some pretty amazing picnic lunches too. :-) The only issue was had was cleanliness of the bathroom (grime, hair, lack of any hand towel), but given the recent reviews indicating "sparkling clean space", I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in that it could have been the guests in the other room he rents out, and not a lack of effort on his part. Nonetheless, we would have loved to know we would be sharing the space with other guests as well, information which was missing from the description. Overall, Jesse's place was just great for our quick stay in Amsterdam. Good communication, easy check in, and location account for the high rating in spite of the minor issues described.
