Richard's place is great for a solo traveler or a couple. The apartment is in a modern (elevator) building with lovely views. The neighborhood has a lot of new construction apartment buildings. It's a very residential area and very quiet at night. It may look on the map like it's a bit out of the way, but don't be fooled. The 22 and 48 bus routes serve the area and it's only 3 stops to trendy Jordaan (which is awesome in its own right and where you can also connect to the 3 and 5 tram lines to get you into the heart of Amsterdam) and only two or three stops more to Centraal Station, which is the hub for buses, trains, trams, ferries, and the Metro. Make sure you get an OV Chip card when you arrive at Schiphol in the train station and you'll be good to ride all of the above with one card.
The apartment itself was comfortable and clean, and there is a nice semi-outdoor terrace area with sliding glass panels you can open up to let the fresh air in. The Murphy bed was quite comfortable and between that and the quietness of the neighborhood and building, I slept great every night.
Communication with Richard was great and he was very accommodating about check-in and check-out times. He was very gracious about accommodating some last-minute changes to my check-in time while I dealt with a baggage issue at the airport and was very responsive during my stay.
