I really enjoyed staying in Ester and Mark's apartment. Once you make it up the stairs it really is spacious and bright - this was definitely helped by the perfect, unusually warm weather while I was there. There is everything you need for a comfortable stay plus they provide you with a bunch of supplies and goodies - fruit, nuts, eggs, cheese, chocolate, beer, wine, tea and there's plenty of coffee for the machine - which is a really great bonus. The apartment is modern as is the bathroom and the main bed is very comfortable so I slept well. It's a great neighbourhood with the market and lots of cafes, restaurants and shops plus it's only a short walk to the Museumplein and if you want to head to the city the tram is very close. Ester met me on arrival and gave me a quick run through of the the apartment and the local area and then later when I had a problem with the wifi Mark worked out a solution so I was only off the air for a short time. Next time I'm in Amsterdam I will stay here again and would highly recommend it to anybody.
