My kids (10 and 7) and I spent a lovely 3 days in Amsterdam in Marta's home. The room was cozy and comfortable and Marta is a warm and generous hostess. We were very happy with our choice. It's a direct 25 min ride from Centraal Station in Amsterdam in a quiet residential neighborhood. Buses run regularly and we never had to wait more than 10 min for one. Marta gave us a lot of good information before we even got to Amsterdam so we also had GVB passes and were able to use the trams in town which - especially with two kids who do not appreciate walking as much - was a huge plus.
