I have travelled to Amsterdam on numerous occasions but this trip was truly a fantastic experience mainly because of Esters place. For starter the location was ideal. You could easily reach the apartment on tram lines 16 or 24 which takes you directly to the Albert Cuypstraat market which is probably the most famous outdoor market in Amsterdam. Then within a short walk you are home. For Trade show conventioneers attending events at the RAI, simply take the team 4 a short walk away! The apartment itself was comfortably cozy with all the amenities available to make it feel like home including a small refrigerator, stove, laundry washer, iron & table, 2 bicycles, dining area for 4 plus all your basic utensils and cutlery. For those desiring a warm bath the tub was deep enough even by USA standards and the walk in shower was quite large. Bedding was very clean and comfortable. Ester's added touch of stocking the refrigerator with a few goodies and treats certainly made for a warm experience. For those desiring freshly baked breads and pastries, the neighborhood bakery is only within a few steps of the apartment. Ester is truly a warm and like able lady and I enjoyed her company and the opportunity to engage in friendly conversations. I certainly look forward to always returning to this apartment each time I am in Amsterdam provided it is available.
