Really nice room, close to the center. The common place (with fridge and a place for breakfast) is a bit cold in the winter but not the room which is really nice with a own bathroom. We did take our bikes with us we just parked in front of the apartment like all other inhabitants. If you want to use cheap parking P+R Sloterdijk a few km away (but not far by bike) make sure you have a train ticket with a valid return from center Amsterdam otherwise you will not get the interesting 1€/day fee in the week-end. Or ask a person who comes back from Amsterdam Center to use theirs.
