Ester's place is convenient to city center, museums and the lively Albert Cuypstr market. The Le Pijp neighborhood has a great selections of restaurants and stores, all within easy walking distance. Don't like to walk, the I Amsterdam card gives you 24, 48,72 hours of free tram and numerous museum entrances for a very reasonable price. Trams stops are located within a very short distance from the apartment. If you have the time, take a boat trip with the family through the Amsterdam canals. It's fun and gives you a very personal touch from people who have lived in this area for many years. Plus she equips the apartment and the boat with special treats. Dutch apple pie on the boat had all of us wanting more.
Ester personalizes a booklet to help you find the best stores and restaurants. We tried both District 5 and De Stadskantine who offers great meals for less than 10 euro's. My wife and I highly recommend and will be returning in the future.
