Everything was as described in his post. Thomas was great, especially at communicating with us ahead of time. He gave us some pointers and even gave us directions to his place from the airport. We arrived early and he allowed us to store our things there so we could get a head start on site seeing. He had maps and everything and even offered us tea/coffee when we arrived. I would have no issue staying there again. The apartment is on the 3rd floor in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen/dining area overlooks one of the canals.
To others that may wonder, the tram stations are about a 7 min walk. You can walk to the Heineken Museum or Central Station in 40 mins, little less than that to the museum area. We pretty much walked the whole time as we fell this is the best way to take in the city, just watch out for bikes.
