We have never stayed in the de pijp area before but after staying in this apartment we definately would stay here again. The apartment is very close to the tram network and markets and shops of the area and about a 15 minute walk to the city centre. It is a bright apartment, clean, well stocked ( including goodies in the fridge) and Ester and Marc were very welcoming hosts. We didnt get to use the bikes due to bad weather but did manage to go on their boat aroud the canals of Amsterdam. We would highly recommend this apartment.
