We stayed at Mimi's place for 5 nights in July. The location couldn't be better - right on the border of the "touristy" area so it's close to everything but not overrun with throngs of people. Very close to a supermarket, public transport, cafes, restaurants, etc. In fact, there are two outdoor cafes on the canal literally steps away from the apartment. We did a lot of walks from there through the beautiful areas of Amsterdam. The apartment is split into two levels and has all the needed amenities, including a nice coffee machine that we used every day (and the coffee was supplied, too! :) There is a lovely little Italian deli/restaurant across the street with excellent food to go or you can eat-in. Like other visitors said, the round staircase is very tight and a bit tricky to navigate so it was a challenge to get our suitcase up and down. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay there again.
