We stayed in Ester’s apartment for 5 days in September. The apartment is beautifully designed, clean, quiet and comfy with everything you could possibly need for a few days stay. Ester makes you feel very welcome, with fresh flowers, a well-stocked kitchen and the fridge. De Pijp is a great neighbourhood and the apartment is located just off a lively street with bars, bakeries and restaurants, close to a pretty park and not far from Museumplein and Vondelpark. Albert Cyup market is a couple of streets away and it’s really worth spending time meandering around. The best thing about the apartment was the two good quality bikes. Although de Pijp is a little way out of the centre you can quickly bike to wherever you want to go. In Amsterdam the bike is king – the city is probably the most bike friendly on earth, so this is a great way to explore. Ester is very friendly and helpful and even booked an eco taxi for us back to the airport. Hugely recommended.
