Three of us (well travelled couple, with 8 years old son) spent a wonderful two weeks at Ester's place. It is incredibly well located, just off wonderful Cuypmarkt, in lively, neighboorly, Pijp. Frequent visitors to Amsterdam, we were discovering this part of town for the first time, with great pleasure. wonderful in of itself, it is but a short bike ride from all the touristy destinations. The apartment itself is homey, quiet, bright, very well thought through, welcoming. The little garden at the back is very welcomed after a very busy day. And Ester (who lives above) is a wonderful wonderful host. Warm, humane, welcoming. I give her apartment my very warmest recommendation.
