The location near the train station is convenient as we were just staying one night (due to Netherlands restrictions) before our flight home. The building is perhaps a 10 minute walk from the Centraal station. We were able to walk through the more central part of Amsterdam easily. The main detriment to our stay was that our unit faced the train yard, and obviously there are trains coming and going all night. A "noise machine" on our phone helped quite a bit. Served its purpose, at a good price.
