Our stay with Marta was great. She made us feel very welcome and was extremely helpful with everything. We arranged for her to pick us up from the airport which made arriving stress-free and cost less than a taxi would have. She also gave us loads of advice about things to do while in Amsterdam, including recommendations that you wouldn't find in regular travel guides. Her home is really nice and we were very happy with our room, which was clean and light. The bed was very comfortable and we had everything that we needed. Marta also provides a really great breakfast which was a lovely start to the day! The location is a little far out from the centre of the city but you can get a bus from a nearby stop that takes 20 minutes or you can cycle to the ferry, which takes about 15 minutes, followed by a 15 minute ride on the ferry which is free and takes you to the central station. All in all we would definitely recommend staying with Marta and would do so again if we went back to Amsterdam.
