Ester and her family couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming to Amsterdam. On arrival, Ester showed us around the flat, she has custom made her own guide to Amsterdam to give to her guests...no tourist traps, all good, true Dutch secrets. The beers in the fridge and little snacks were a welcome treat after our flight. The neighbourhood is excellent with a bakery next door and cool bars/shops nearby. The bikes that come with the apartment are excellent. Powerful shower/big bath separate. All of Esters help and knowledge just made us feel like we knew Amsterdam well and could travel around with simplicity and ease. I'm already looking to come back in the summer and stay at Esters apartment again...thankyou thankyou
