Room has a nice canal view. Its within walking distance from mostly everything in the Central. There's a steep staircase to the room on second floor (it's usual for nearly all houses in Amsterdam) so be prepared to carry your bags through it. However, the location makes it all worthy of the effort. :)
A 50 yr. old Cafe De Pels (a locals' favourite) located right around the corner for a nice breakfast.
It's safe to walk down to, from the Central Station, even after a late night party. Many Bus/tram stops nearby along with a super market, cafes and restaurants.
Maarten is a super host, always present for any help. I appreciate his hospitality and highly recommend this place. Would love to stay again! :)
