Although it is listed as a private room, we had our own space with a little bathroom and kitchenette, sofa and small TV. Communication with Mauro is excellent, and the location for his place is perfect for Amsterdam! So close to Central Station, tram lines (not that we used them because we walked everywhere) and walkable to so many of the good spots.
As another guest had noted in their review, it can be quite noisy from upstairs (can clearly hear walking, blenders, hammers, laughing etc.) so be aware if that bothers you. We were up early and out and about most of the day and evening so it wasn't a worry for us.
