Alexa is a very kind host, she wanted me to feel like home & use everything that the apartment offers. You can use the kitchen, living & dining room & enjoy the sun at the balcony. She also was always open to help you or give you a couple tips & recommendations in Amsterdam.
The room is on the side of the street, nothing that can be changed. So just be aware if you have a really light sleep, that you'll probably hear the tram.
Amsterdam is in general a little more pricey, I just find the price a little high, but that is of course only person perception :)
