Ms. Croon is a very lovely host and was able to tell me a lot about the area, but more importantly, if I did have any concerns, she was able to promptly address them. The neighborhood is great, you can basically walk to whatever you want to see (I never used a bus for example and made it to most attractions within half an hour at most). The room itself was very clean and the bed was comfortable. She is pretty proud of her shower and for good reason, it's pretty fancy, so if you like that sort of thing you'll really love this. She was also extremely kind enough to give me a charger for my phone as I did not have an adapter for the Netherlands. She also charged my computer for me and gave me a Van Gogh museum card that I could use for the day, so that was extremely kind of her. I would highly recommend staying with her if you choose to go to Amsterdam.
