Great first experience with airbnb for us. Marcel could not have been nicer and more helpful prior to and during our stay. He was even helpful after our stay there. Our first scheduled flight to Amsterdam was cancelled and Marcel was helpful and accommodating when we had to reschedule our arrival time. What I liked most about him as a host was how organized he was. It felt like he laid out all of the instructions and details very well prior to us getting there, which made things go very smoothly for us as foreigners and newbies to airbnb. The place was small, but cozy, and very clean and tidy, with everything we could possibly need while away from home. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was great to be able to go out on the porch for some fresh air. Lots of lovely natural light in the apartment, too. We slept well there, as the bedroom was quiet and the perfect temperature. The bikes he let us use were a great bonus, and we used them every day we were there; they are reliable and comfortable bikes. Marcel's neighborhood was nice and quiet, but close to some shops and restaurants and easy to navigate to the nearby bustling parts of town.
