My girlfriend and I stayed with Marcel for five nights and he is a wonderful host. He's very kind and accommodating and immediately made us feel welcome in his beautiful home. The location is convenient and quiet (if you don't mind clock bells) and we never needed to take public transit; we walked everywhere. His breakfasts were delightful and we really enjoyed getting to know him. Marcel knows a lot about Amsterdam and is always happy to recommend things to do. The room is large and very comfortable. We'd highly recommend Marcel and we hope we can stay with him again on a future visit to Amsterdam!
