We spent about 10 days at Ester's apartment and had an amazing time. The apartment itself is very cozy and clean, and Ester did a great job preparing the essentials in the fridge and fresh flowers for our arrival. All communication was prompt before the arrival, and Ester and her husband were accessible throughout the trip for any questions and suggestions. The surrounding neighborhood is full of energy and adventure: numerous outdoor cafes to choose to dine at and beautiful Sarphati park right down the street. Overall the stay fully encompassed my understanding of the term gezellig, and I wouldn't stay anywhere else on our next trip to Amsterdam.
