Tanya house is really nice and comfortable, you wont be able to believe the beautiful garden. The room has enough space (you have tea, cofee and some delicious cookies!) and the shared bathroom too. Tanya provide me maps, and printed tips about where to go for drinks and for food, also she took the time to point at the map the most interesting areas of the city. You have to go to the restaurants that she advice, they are really cool.
In my first day i went to the city walking (35 min), you will spend more time but the neigborhood is really beautiful and you can enjoy a quiet area of Amsterdam; the 2nd day i took the bike that Tanya provides and that was a good experience! The city as a local.
You have to bear in mind that the room is in the 2nd floor, so if you have heavy luggage as me it can be an issue. Also, the bed is not big, if you are tall i would no recommend. For me was just enough.
