Marcel was very welcoming and the appartment was lovely. We had a problem topping up the travel cards Marcel provided, and as soon as we told him, he went straight to the shop to sort it out for us. This made getting in and around the city a lot easier (means you dont have to try and pronounce the street names to the bus drivers!)

The area is lovely - and not too far from the city centre. marcel also left instructions on which tram stop to use for each of the main attractions - which was helpful as we kept getting lost!

If I am ever in Amsterdam again, I will not look for anywhere else to stay but here!
