The house was just as described! It was perfect for our family of 6 and was in such a safe, quiet neighborhood but still just a short tram right into Centre of Amsterdam. James was a great host and made sure we always had what we needed! He has a cat, but he is great! My family were ready to take him home after the trip and he doesn't cause any trouble at all! I highly recommend James house for anyone wanting a really comfortable place to stay while still being so close to Amsterdam centrum.
