What a wonderful time we had as Ester’s guests. She is warm, welcoming and ever so attentive as a host. She met us when we arrived and stocked the fridge with beer, bottled water, and food for light meals. The apartment is right near the fun and lively outdoor market, Albert Cuyp Market. It is easy to get everywhere from the apartment. My husband and two adult daughters stayed here. We were so well taken care of. Ester arranged for our ride to the airport and made her printer available for us to print boarding passes. She is incredibly responsive.

The apartment is adorable. We were on the 3rd and 4th floors. We overlooked a backyard facing other apartments and gardens and a quiet side street in front. It was easy getting around Amsterdam. We chose to walk everywhere from this location.

Note: if steep stairs might be a problem, I wouldn’t recommend this apartment. The stairs leading to our apartment weren’t an issue for us. They are the typical Dutch winding stairs.
