Marta was more than a host to us. In the six days we spent with her, she was like family :) Her pets, Kasper (an adorable dog), and her two cats were as welcoming as she was and never caused trouble/noise.

She was always helpful to assist us with planning our day activities (providing contacts for cheaper attraction tickets, a walking map) and suggested all sorts of places for us to visit.

The room (downstairs) may be a bit squeezy for 4, however we only slept in that room. The rest of the evening/night we were on the ground floor (living room and kitchen) having supper, using our devices, watching TV or chatting with our lovely host. Marta always entertained us with her funny and heartwarming stories.

Each morning, breakfast was prepared by the time we went downstairs (you can even have breakfast in bed!). It was yummy and filling and prepared with such love.

The accommodation, as stated, was indeed in a quiet location, away from the city's hustle and bustle. We took a bus each morning to get to the Central Station (approx. 20 mins). This was not inconvenient at all, and we enjoyed the neighbourhood.

If we were ever to return to Amsterdam, I know where we'll be staying! Highly recommended!!
