Seeking Accommodation in Amsterdam for next week!

Public transport over here is the best I've ever seen and I've travelled a lot.  Busses seem to run on time and are frequent, trams would rather run you down in the street than be late to the next stop and even the trains seem to arrive when they should.  Been English it's a complete novelty to me!  Plus don't forget the Netherlands is flat as a pancake and you can cycle most places very quickly, cycles paths are everywhere and in Amsterdam bikes are only second to trams when it comes to getting around.
I live around 25k from Amsterdam and it takes around 45mins on the bus, I work all over Amsterdam and commute around on a scooter, takes me about an hour even to the furthest places. Living outside the city is cheaper but you have to drive in and by car it can take a long time to get into the city, the roads here are always busy, so I use the bus or my scooter because it's quicker.

I don't know if any of that made sense, I've had a beer or two tonight and might be rambling..............
