My Husband and I had the best time in Amsterdam. Ester's apartment was perfect for us. Well appointed with modern amenities, a complete kitchen including espresso machine a comfortable bed and luxury linens. Ester had fresh flowers on the table, a bottle of wine, beer, water, juice, cheese and fresh eggs in the frig. We loved the Pijp neighborhood, restaurants, bars, an amazing bakery and delightful shops were just around the corner. We were pleasantly surprised how quiet the apartment was considering how close it was to the action. We used the bikes which were great to get out to the suburbs and we highly recommend taking Ester and Mark's tour of the canals on their private sloop, complete with appetizers and drinks. The only way to see it in our opinion. Would definitely stay again.
