Ester’s place is a gem with many thoughtful touches. The weary traveller arrives to a bright, cheery space and sees wine with various nibbles (nuts, cookies, fruit) on the table. Eggs, cheese, orange juice for breakfast has been stocked too. The apartment itself was thoroughly supplied with games, books, utensils and we especially enjoyed the top floor bedroom and patio. We arranged for a boat tour on their “bloodred sloop” which was a fantastic way to see Amsterdam from a local’s POV. Captain T created a delicious spread and skillfully manoeuvred us through the busy canals while telling us about life and history of Amsterdam. Ester’s place makes you feel like a cherished guest and was the best overall experience we’ve had so far!
