Traveling with our 2 children (age 4 yrs and baby 10 months), we were looking for a great location but enough space to accommodate our family. This was a perfect place for us, and Ester and Marc made us feel so welcome. They were especially gracious hosts, even bringing down bins of Lego and Playmobil for our kids to play with, provided a crib and high chair for the baby and the fold out bed for our son was very comfortable. We especially appreciated the bikes and Marc outfitted them with kid seats for us and even spent time mapping out a bike route for us to see North of Amsterdam to visit the villages one day which was a highlight of our trip. The location of the apartment is incredible...only steps to an amazing bakery, 2 blocks to the best outdoor market in Amsterdam (loved the fresh stroopwafels and pofferjes), walking distance to the Heineken museum, boat tours, and several playgrounds. Ester even provided us with info to a local European toy store which was fun to visit too. We were spoiled by Ester & Marc's hospitality and they have set the bar high for our future travels. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Amsterdam.
