Jan and Desti 's place is in a good location,around 20 minutes walk from city centre so we didn't need to use public transport. Their provision of bikes is a great idea and way to explore the city. They very kindly provided us with food and snacks ( even beers and wine!) which was a nice surprise. There are a few guide books for Amsterdam in the room which were of great help to us. The only downside is the size of the shower room which is tiny but other than that it's been a positive experience all round.
