Ester was very accommodating, very friendly and very responsive. The neighborhood put us in close proximity to any place in Amsterdam we wanted to visit. Having access to Ester's bikes was essential, and allowed us to easily navigate the entirety of Amsterdam.

The apartment was spacious, stocked with bottled water, snacks and wine, hair dryers and extra little toiletries you may have forgotten. There is a small kitchen and cookware, which was also nice. While there is no air conditioning, due to the time of year we visited, that was not a problem. Our only complaint was a rushing pipe/banging noise that would occur with some regularity and appeared to be associated with the use of hot water.
