I stayed for a few days and will give my own tips;
- don't eat more than one hash bonbon or spacecake unless you've done this sort of thing before. Overdosing on this stuff is not the best experience you'll ever have.
- the red light district isn't that big of a deal although there really are hookers in the windows and the coffeeshops serve plenty of extras. Step out of the fenced area of that district and things can get very interesting if you step into an even seeder area. I survived fine.
- even the hostel type thing I stayed at was very clean. I wouldn't drink out of one of the canals, but Amsterdam is a really beautiful city overall.
- the most fun I had was just hanging out with the locals at corner cafes drinking beer out of mugs the size of what I'd call a pitcher of beer.
