Laurence and her husband were incredibly warm hosts. Very helpful and friendly. We were travelling for the first time after having our baby, little nervous too - they were very kind to share baby stuff with us to make our stay extra comfortable. Location is close to tram and bus stop. There are canals at the back of the house past the children play area. Also 10mins walking distance from Jordaan - excellent area to explore like a local. The place is clean, kitchen full equipped and quiet. I also think it's a good sized studio - we could easily accomadate with a baby!
