Ester and her family are excellent hosts. They made us feel so welcome. The flat is beautiful and clean and very comfortably. Soaps and folded towels, and redline and dutch snacks made us feel like we were in a luxurious hotel. It's easy to get there by tram and right in the middle of a bohemian corner of the city, buzzling with life and energy.
Our hosts organised a private boat trip on the canals with all the snacks and drinks we could have wished for. It was really a beautiful way to see Amsterdam. This is highly recommended and worth every penny. Book in advance, coz this place is popular - and with good reason!
