We stayed in Lot's flat for 6 days and enjoyed our stay. The flat was clean and uncluttered and had everything we needed, including good WiFi. The area is great, not touristy: with shops (a small supermarket & cycle hire shop less than 5 minutes walk away) and restaurants also 5 - 10 minutes away (we used the Surinamese at one end of Vrolikstraat and the Turkish and the Pizza restaurant on Beukenplein just down the road in the other direction - all great.)

We walked into the centre of Amsterdam along the Amstel River and canals - I can't say how long it took as we kept stopping to look at things, although on other days we also used the metro (again, less than 5 minutes walk away and direct to Amsterdam Centraal ) and the tram when coming home from another direction.

As we were travelling with sons aged 17 & 21, Lot set up one bed in the small bedroom and put bedding for the other on the sofa bed in the living room, which suited us as they preferred not to share, but if you definitely want to use both beds in the small room, you might want to mention this to Lot.

We didn't meet Lot (a neighbour had the keys,) but by arrangement she left her lovely young & affectionate cat. Altogether, glad we didn't stay in a hotel!
