Another host had a problem with their place and cancelled my reservation within 48 hours of my trip to Amsterdam. Jack was really quick to respond to all my requests, was very accommodating, and super helpful once I got there. Javastraat is a great place to stay. Away from the hordes of tourists, it is a great neighborhood with parks, families, and lots of good Middle Eastern food. I was able to walk to the center in 1/2 an hour, or take a tram.
