Michelle's place is a real treat in Amsterdam.
If I were to compare it to Manhattan, it'd be like the Upper West Side: a few stops away from Times Square and its craziness, but far enough away that you won't be kept up too late / scared by some craziness at 0200.
The Jordaan is a safe and historic neighborhood. The place is located right off of one of the main traffic paths so you're three "blocks," er canals, from the main thoroughfare. There you'll find a supermarket, a tourist center (for multi-day tram passes), delicious Indonesian food, delicious Turkish food, and delicious sandwiches.
If you go *away* from that major thoroughfare, you can take another tram line right to the Museum district and the Vondelpark. It couldn't be easier.
Transit from Centraal Station is a mere 3 tram stops.
The place is decorated in a very fun way: beautiful colors and stainless in the kitchen, an airy-open living room with view onto the canal, and a traditional Dutch stair describe the upper floor. The low floor has the bedroom, WC, and shower room (no tub, if that's needed).
We slept well, cooked easily, and loved being in this neighborhood. We came in late some nights and left early on others and felt very safe.
Michelle's spot is a great place to get to know Amsterdam. I've been coming here for decades now and I vastly prefer this spot to any of the hotels (and I've stayed at the majors) in town.
