This is the second time I have stayed at one of Ester's listing and it was by choice. I had such a fantastic time on my initial visit that I decided to return and share the experience with my mother. We had a wonderful time at her luxury upstairs unit. The place is impeccably clean and full of light. Beds are very comfortable and Ester has furnished the place with everything needed to make for a comfortable stay and home-away-from-home and in a very cosmopolitan modern look. No question that I will return numerous times as I visit Amsterdam in the future. The location is ideal to get around. Within a short walk of most of the museums, the most famous Amsterdam city park and the wildly acclaimed Albert Cuyp Street market which is only a parallel street away. This is a place to stay if you really want to enjoy all that Amsterdam has to offer, quiet when peace is desired and yet only steps and close enough to several restaurants, bakeries, and shopping! Ester and Mark are warmly hospitable and and quick to respond to questions. They were also very helpful in assisting with carrying our luggage and calling for a Taxi when we needed one and then prepared a warm cup of peppermint tea whilst we waited! We have definitely made some great friends!
