Emiel and Laura (and Aimee) were wonderful hosts for the lovely Blue Room. I could not have asked for a better, comfortable and functional space for my first visit to Amsterdam. The amenities offered are all what you need for about a few to couple day-stay. The option to rent a bicycle for 10 Euros was also superb, and it comes with a bike lock so you do not have to worry about it getting stolen. Their house guide is straight forward and all-encompassing. Do note that there is one flight of steep stairs (of course!). I wish I had more time to explore the place, including Vondelpark (which is quite nearby).
