I will not forget our x-mas stay in Esther's apartment very easily: it was perfect! She is kind and generous. The apartment is modern and spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Different zone's to gather and scatter ;-). Its like being abroad at home.
Oud-West is a revalued residential-neighborhood and has much to offer like worldwide eating-places: try out 'happyhappyjoyjoy' at Bilderdijkstraat! I already miss it. Walk around and discover an old quarter of Amsterdam, with its dutch writers from the 18th/19th century, like Elisabeth Wolff, Isaac Da Costa and Jacob van Lennep as well as J.J.L ten Kate: don't miss a stroll over the ten Kate Market: its around the corner and very Amsterdam! Thank you Esther and her family for this very special experience!
