Great location, close to everything. Excellent directions by bus from the airport. Don't be intimidated by the excellent mass transportation in Amsterdam. Easy to use with Google maps. Google maps will give you walking directions to the tram, which # tram to take, then which stop to get off and final walking directions to your destination.
Yvo will also offer advice on things to do and where to eat. He was there to take our luggage up the stairs and take them down to the first floor when we checked out. He was kind enough to let us drop our luggage off early as our plane landed about 9 and check in is noon. He will just work with you to accommodate your needs. A perfect host!
