Marta was the perfect hostess--she was helpful to us in planning our sightseeing, she found us maps, and she even helped us find bicycles to rent! The room was clean, quiet, private, and well-furnished with a comfy bed and plenty of closet space. Breakfasts were delicious. I especially liked to location away from the busiest part of the city--it was a pleasant bike or bus trip into the center of Amsterdam.
