Marta is a great host - her house makes an ideal place to stay just outside the main center of Amsterdam with easy access by bus. The 2 rooms she has on offer make it ideal for a family and her house rules are simple and sensible. She also has a lovely dog that is child-friendly and a couple of cats - my boys loved having them. Also, Marty loved helping us plan our itinerary and had some great suggestions that may not be in the travel guides. We had a great stay all round.
