The keizersgracht residence is a great place to stay while in Amsterdam. It is located in a quiet upscale residential neighborhood but close to many of the attractions you will want to see while you are there. Trams are nearby to reach anywhere that is too far to walk or bike. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. Try the Koffiehuis De Hoek at the corner of Prinsecgracht and Reestraat for the best pancakes in Amsterdam.
