It was a pleasure staying at Nikkie's wonderfully comfortable place. We appreciated all the extra touches that made us feel at home -- the museum passes, the bikes, the waffles, wine and beer, arranging a taxi to the airport, her responsiveness. Nikkie was a terrific host. The Jordaan neighbourhood was a delight. We loved the Saturday market outside our door and being able to cook at home, like a local. Close to good cafes and supermarkets, within 30 minute walk of anywhere you'd like to go. Another big plus for Amsterdam, no stairs, making it a great choice for older travellers or people with mobility issues. As noted, the bathroom is tight, and the shower issue, but these are minor on balance.
