My friends and I really enjoyed our stay in Lara and Marco's apartment.
The neighbourhood was a lovely, calm and safe place to stay. There were several restaurants in close proximity, as well as two supermarkets (including a Whole Foods equivalent) and a very conveniently placed coffee place a couple of doors down. It is not particularly close to the centre of Amsterdam but could be considered walking distance for some (we had run a marathon and so did not attempt such a feat). Getting around by tram, bike or taxi (uber) was very easy and affordable, taking about only 30 minutes to reach Centraal station, for example.
The apartment itself was suited to our needs. It was well-cleaned, equipped with everything we required and spacious. We were met by a very helpful greeter and contact beforehand to arrange this was just right (not too demanding but reassuring).
I would recommend staying in this apartment if you value cleanliness, space and a pleasant neighbourhood over a very central location.
