As a local living in the neighborhood for a couple of years (and needing a place to stay for my visit), I can surely recommend Patrick’s studio in the pijp!
It’s right in the middle of the buzzing district but perfectly placed in a quiet street very close to the Sarphatipark.
The windows are overlooking the calm residential garden square, which offers you quite a unique “behind the buildings” view of the Amsterdam architecture.
Most importantly, Patrick is a lovely and caring host - he makes you feel very welcome and comfortable at his place :)
