Stay here!! You will not regret it!
Veerle's apartment is truly lovely. It's large and spacious but cozy at the same time. Whether it's perfectly selected panels of wallpaper, a crystal chandelier in the bedroom, or a funky shower curtain, this flat is full of unique touches and obvious attention to detail. Also, the bed is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in!
The flat is located in De Pijp, which is now one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Amsterdam. It is aesthetically beautiful and near a number of tram lines, but we were easily able to walk everywhere during our stay. This is a great option if you want to stay within a 30-minute walk of everything but also live like a local away from the craziness. Also, the flat is a stones throw away from the Albert Cuyp Market which is an absolute must-see. (I recommend stopping for lunch at Mukki's Rantang Homemade Indonesian Food tent if you go to the market, which you absolutely should.)
I should also add that Veerle is a delightful host and was incredibly communicative and hospitable throughout our stay. Our first night we had a random little emergency due to a leaking fish tank, but Veerle promptly responded to our messages, came over to fix the problem, and even left us a hand-written card and chocolates. Amazing superhost!
My only note of caution is that there are in fact pets who live on-site, as there are two fish who also call the apartment home. It was not a problem for us, but if you have any concerns about feeding a couple of fish each day then this may not be the best choice for you. However, knowing Veerle, she will likely accommodate this by taking the fishbowl to a friend's if this is a problem.
In case it's not yet obvious, I would definitely recommend staying here. Stop thinking about it - book!!
