We are a family of 5 and we stayed in Ester's apartment right before New Year. Before the trip, I found Ester to be an accommodating host who would readily provide information that one would need to plan the trip. Our flight was in the evening but since Ester's apartment was right below where she lived, she was available for the check-in. The apartment itself is beautifully designed, modern, comfortable and had all the facilities we needed to make our stay most enjoyable. Although we were 5 and laid out beds in the living room, we didn't feel cramped at all as the space was adequate and well laid out. The beds in the master bedroom were also soft and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised that Ester also provided some goodies and supplies for coffee. Ester also prepared a guide of restaurants in the area. Overall, it was a lovely and most comfortable apartment. We could not ask for more. It was also in a good location. The neighborhood was quiet and yet had a number of restaurants too. It was also just a few steps away from the popular Albert Cuyp market. Within 10 minutes, we were already at the tram station that would take us to the city center and all the popular sights. We also managed to walk through the very charming canals, the Ann Frank House and the Van Gogh Musuem. It was a perfect stay in such a perfect city!
