We stayed 5 nights at Roel's place and trust me you can't get a better host than Roel, he has the most amazing Apartment that 500 words won't be able to describe it  He has a great kitchen and he allows you to use whatever is available. One of the many features of his place is that the apartment is very bright and located in the very "IN" neighborhood "De Pijp" which offers great restaurants, bars, and cafes. It's 15 mins away from the city Centre (centraal station) by tram, but the tram stop is very close. The Albert Cuyp market is a 7 min walk and on the way to the market you'll pass by an awesome park.
Roel is very clear about his rules and he leaves information post-its around the house just to make sure we were comfortable. And best of all he was is super easy to communicate with being available either by emails or sms.
We'll be coming back very very soon hopefully
Dank je veel for everything Roel
