The apartment was beautiful and in a fabulous location. We fell in love with De Pijp. The wonderful brood (bread) store on the corner, cafes, restaurants and Albert Cuyp Market. More importantly Ester was a great host. There was food in the apartment when we arrived after a long day of travel and Ester was always available if we had any questions. One of the highlights of our stay was a boat tour through the canals with Ester and Marc. We enjoyed drinks, fresh fruit, salads, bread and cheese. We definitely recommend a private boat tour over the large impersonal tour boats. We highly recommend the apartment and hope to visit again!
