You will love Amsterdam. I have no experience with that rental agency, but have had excellent luck with Tripadvisor.com. The reviews are written by travellers, not professional travel agents or sales people. I would advise that you check a map and try to stay as centrally located as possible. Amsterdam is great for walking and biking. A good location would be near the Van Gogh museum.

Make sure to take several side trips, particularly the flower auction at Aalsneer. You will seen trainloads of flowers on train tracks coming in and out of the auction building where florists bid on them. The smell and colors in the building are amazing.

Holland is only the size of Massachusetts, so a quick train or bus ride will take you to great side trips.
