Michiel has an incredible apartment in one of the coolest areas of Amsterdam. Everything about it makes you feel like a super hip local and he has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only thing that's problematic are the stairs. You have to go up 4 very narrow and steep staircases that have an automatic light switch (they go off every 90 seconds or so) to get up to the apartment. It's a bit haphazard for someone traveling with large suitcases or if you have bad knees or any other sorts of ailments. Once you get into the apartment the bedroom is also up another staircase -- so the stairs are a big part of your experience here. Other than that this is an awesome place and I highly recommend it. Michiel was a gracious host and very accommodating as well.
