My family and I arrived at Ester's a few days before Christmas and were greeted by Ester's enthusiastic friends, who showed us around the apartment. We were delighted to find a fridge stocked with goodies, fresh fruit on the counter, and a Christmas tree! We used Ester's guide for local restaurants and enjoyed an incredible Christmas Eve meal down the road at Simpel. Two bikes were included with the rental, and they allowed us to explore the beautiful city of Amsterdam on two wheels. We were traveling with extended family, who were staying at the Pulitzer Hotel. I must say I wouldn't trade the experience of staying at Ester's. On our last morning, Ester arranged for a taxi to the airport. And she personally sent us off at 6:00 am even though she had arrived home from her own holiday just a few hours earlier. Thank you, Ester! We hope to return one day soon.
