Jan's place is cozy, but just what my husband and I needed for our stay. It is extremely close to a tram station which brings you directly to the center of Amsterdam (you can purchase a 2 day pass for unlimited tram rides). There are quite a few narrow steps up to the 3rd floor so if stairs are difficult, I would not recommend. Otherwise, the neighborhood felt very safe and the place was very private. It was clean and we had everything we needed. Jan also had recommendations for restaurants and shops near his place, as well as books for what to do in the city. I would recommend Moeder's for a good Dutch dinner! I'd definitely stay again if I were in Amsterdam!
