Bastiaan's place is very well located if you prefer a residential neighborhood. It's also close to a bus stop and tram stop so it was an easy travel to and from the train station and to the places I wanted to see (I recommend the pipe organ concerts at De Nieuwe Kerk). Bas's place has a nice sized living room/dining area (with lots of light) and smaller kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. There's a small but nice back deck overlooking gardens between the apartments. The kitchen is well equipped except for a microwave oven. Communication with Bas was quick and enjoyable. I highly recommend this as a fun option for Amsterdam!
