I can confirm that all the previous positive comments are true and correct. Superb host (Thanks Emil), Excellent spacious room with a super comfy giant bed and the bonus of a balcony. The flat is located in a safe residential area, easy for local transport and has shops, bars and restaurants nearby. This was my first time as a solo traveller staying in a shared flat and I was made really welcome and plan to return. Tip: Amsterdam , Sloterdijk rail station (The one before Centraal) is only 4 trams stops (No. 19) from flat so if arriving from Schipol get of there.
