Jurjen was an excellent host, pretty much the best you can wish for. Quick to respond to any email, very helpful to suggest things to do and places to see, always available when needed, and he even gave me a ride out to the airport on my final day. The apartment itself is in a residential area, but easy to reach from downtown by public transportation and with grocery stores and all necessary amenities nearby. I would definitely stay at his place again on my next trip to Amsterdam.
