We loved our stay at Sophie's home. It really gives you a feeling that you are a native to Amsterdam.
The neighborhood is great. You step outside onto the quite street (with a passion fruit vine and bench at your door), and there is a bike rental shop and Vegan Junk Food restaurant. The grocery is only around the corner. There are cute local shops and loads of restaurants. Even some late night spots for snacks.
The tram is only a block away. Vondel Park is about 2 blocks away. The Museum Square is only about a 1/2 mile.
We did a bike tour and canal tour that left from Museum Square.
Sophie was a very responsive host. Finding the flat and getting in was easy peasey. The flat is very warm and cozy. Very sweet treats greeted us. Coffee is no problem with the Nespresso machine. It was great to be able to do some laundry. The balconies were the best part. So cool to see Amsterdammers doing their thing.
Be sure to note, as described the bedrooms are up the stairs, which are steep Amsterdam style winding staircase. No bathroom on the bedroom floor. Wasn't a problem for us, but might be for people with mobility issues.
If want to get out of the crazy tourist chaos, this is a perfect spot for you!
