Ester and Marc are outstanding hosts, and this apartment is excellent. The design, use of space, comfort and amenities are top notch. Great neighborhood and easy to get around the City. Although we did not use the bikes (my wife was a bit scared to give it a go), having access to them is really nice- everyone in Amsterdam rides bikes. If you are lucky and are able to arrange a private tour on their boat you will not regret it- an absolute highlight of our European trip.
