Thomas is an excellent host. Because my flight from the USA arrived early, he went out of his way to let me put my bags in his apartment upstairs and gave me the keys so I could go explore. When I got back at the arrival time, my bags were waiting for me in the apartment. Very good location, everything seems very close and walkable (though it seems that's true of pretty much everywhere in central Amsterdam). It's in the heart of the red light district. The apt is clean, the bed is comfortable and it's a solid space. Only negative is the bathroom is quite small and the shower is basically right next to the sink and toilet so everything gets wet with nothing separating them. After showering you need to squeegie the floor before going back in there. Not a huge deal, but it's something to be aware of. I liked the apartment, however.
