If location is top of your priority list, then this place will be very well-suited to you. Elandsgracht is a stone's throw away from the nine streets, and it is very easy to walk to all of the main Amsterdam attractions from the accommodation. There is a very nice Thai restaurant literally next door, a well-stocked supermarket 50 meters up the road, and some really good burgers at Burgermeester, 2~3 minutes down the road in the opposite direction. It was also very easy to get to the house via tram number 17, which takes you directly from Amsterdam Central Station. So all in all, location definitely gets five stars. The hosts were friendly and easily accommodating when we changed our reservation dates, which was much appreciated on our part. Also, when we arrived, the house had no water, although this was through no fault of their own - the next door neighbour's building alterations had unexpectedly severed the water pipes. The hosts promptly called a plumber, and rectified the problem as quickly as they could, with no hassle to us.
