Ester was a fantastic host! Her apartment is very welcoming and we immediately felt at home there. She welcomed us warmly and her guidebook helped us model our day trips.
Ester was extremely prompt with replying to our messages and helped us out within 2 minutes when we were having issues connecting with their new wifi system which was great!
The apartment itself, wow! Ester had stocked us with lots of little goodies, chocolate, wine, beer, milk, eggs, cheese, coffee etc which was a relief as we arrived on a Sunday evening when most shops had closed.
We fell in love with the view from the downstairs balcony.
The neighborhood is also more than you could ask for. The markets just a street away became apart of our daily morning routine - everything is so fresh and reasonably priced. There is also a supermarket within walking distance and many little cafes and restaurants on the same block.
We never really mastered the trams of Amsterdam but they also run quite close to the apartment.
We had a fantastic week here and highly recommend staying with Ester - we wish we could have stayed longer!
