We stayed at Tom's flat in September 2018. It is exactly as described - bright, clean and very well appointed. Tom was very helpful throughout, quick to respond and forthcoming with local tips. He also greeted us at the apartment and showed us around. The apartment is in a lovely quiet residential neighbourhood, yet just a minutes walk to local shops and friendly bars and restaurants. A longer walk gets you to the Pijp area with a wide selection of bars and restaurants. The centre of Amsterdam is a cheap tram ride away, a short taxi ride or a good walk! We have stayed in the centre of Amsterdam many times but we prefer to stay in places like Tom's as we get the best of both worlds - easy access to all of Amsterdam yet a quiet place to rest :-) Would definitely stay again.
