Gerard is one of the kindest hosts I've met, and has one of the best places to offer. The location is very close to all tourist areas and yet very peaceful. Very clean, well stocked, and exactly as it is shown in the pictures. Gerard was also kind enough to do the laundry for us, and fix the coffee machine. He stays in the opposite flat. If you're looking for a place in Amsterdam and do not intend to smoke/smoke-up in the flat (there's a very nice 'coffeeshop' nearby - called 'Coffeeshop Solo'), Gerard place is a great choice.
