We only met Joop once, but it was a great help when we did. The host goes above and beyond to accommodate guests. Very comfy bed, quality heat without feeling wasteful, and the location is amazing. The canal view was icing on the cake. We did not mind the separate bathroom, but yes, plan for it. Wear socks to bed so if you need to get up, it's a more comfortable walk. We would absolutely stay here again next time we visit Amsterdam.
