Ester and her family are absolute top hosts, I can't actually imagine it could get any better. We are quite experienced in renting flats or houses during vacation, doing it for twelve years, and I can easily say this was the absolutely best in every way. Such a warm welcome with fresh flowers, fruit, wine and groceries in the fridge that you may need when you arrive or for breakfast. Everything is thought of!

The communication worked perfectly throughout the whole time, which was quite a long period for us, we rented the flat for ten days. If there is anything you need to contact Ester about, she will answer immediately. She is a person you really can trust.

Everything was in perfect shape, neat and clean, and the porch was a wonderful place to have your breakfast, lunch or dinner at. Or just to have a glass of wine in the evenings if the temperature allows it.

If you prefer eating out, de Pijp is a very, very friendly area where you can choose between many restaurants, bars and cafes. There's also a nice market along Albert Cuypstreet where they sell almost everything from fish to clothes. If you want to buy groceries there are several supermarkets close by, you have Dirk and Albert Heijn for example. And then you have a really nice bakery just around the corner.

You can easily reach the whole center of town from the flat by foot, everything is close to in Amsterdam. If you prefer to bike you have very good bikes in the flat that you can use. And then there's also the tram.

When we travel we usually stay in the flats quite a lot, due to us combining work with vacation, which means we often eat at home, work there and so on. Therefore the standard is important. Here we didn't miss a thing. We'll definitely return to Ester. And in my opinion that must be the best way to express how much we appreciated renting her apartment! See you again, Ester! :)
