Maaike's apartment was perfect for our stay in Amsterdam. My wife and I were there for a week with our 4 & 7 year old children. The apartment is very stylishly decorated, and in an excellent location. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there's even a roof deck to enjoy (though it was a little too cold and rainy for us to spend time there!).
It's easy to walk to many shops and restaurants (in fact, some of our best meals were within just a couple blocks of the apartment), and even easier to bike of course to any nearby neighborhood. We rented bicycles for the week, and actually left for a night to bike to Leiden before returning to Amsterdam to finish our trip.
