Nikkie was the ultimate Host, taking care of our bags while the apartment was being cleaned before check in, plus leaving wine and cookies for us. She went over everything we'd need to know about the place, and there are multiple guide books to help plan your time in Amsterdam. There are many good restaurants close by. We SO appreciated having the bikes to ride! It really helps see more of the city when you have the biking option. If you want an authentic, quirky, cool Dutch apartment experience in a great part of Amsterdam this is a great option.
