Ella's apartment in the de pijp neighborhood of amsterdam was perfect for our family of three. We spent a month there in the summer and its location to the metro and tram as well as a huge number of restaurants / the albert cuyp market made is a great starting place for a more authentic exploration of amsterdam. It's an easy walk to the rijks museum and van gogh, and the vondelpark is a bit further but still easy to walk to. There is a nice park half a block from the apartment that we would spend afternoons lounging in and playing ping pong and on the swings next to the water. it was all great.
The apartment itself has a large central area with a kitchen with everything we needed to cook (though no formal oven, instead a combined microwave and grill oven (which worked just fine for us)), a comfortable living space with a great couch and several nice chairs, a divided dining room and a garden. The front bedroom faces the street and can be a little noisy on the weekends, but the street that the apartment is on is a side street from the main drag in de pijp so it really wasn't a problem and we quickly adapted. The back bedroom (where our daughter slept) is very private and quiet.
Everything was very clean and well stocked with linens / towels / the basics... and Ella was an excellent and flexible communicator. Check in and check out couldn't have been easier. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
