Wow - we just loved Ester's place. It is in the residential area of Amsterdam but very close to where you want to be. Stones throw to the Albert Cuyp Markets (a must check out - close Sundays).
EVERYTHING was provided....what a host you are, Ester...beautiful fresh flowers, chocolate, biscuits, nespresso, umbrella's (yes - you may need one) guide books on Amsterdam....the list goes on.
Beds very comfortable with plenty of towels.
Ester even arranged out Taxi pick up on our last day....what a host.
We will definitely book Esters next time we are in Amsterdam!
