Staying with Marcel was the smartest thing we did on our vacation. He was so friendly and willing to help us with anything we needed to know. He picked us up at the airport and brought us back on time with ease, and little cost. His rooftop terrace and the apartment were clean and extremely accommodating. He provided us with an amazing guide book and binder with a combination of his own recommendations and those of previous renters. On a final note he provided us with bikes and I must say it changed the way we saw Amsterdam. Without those bikes there is no way to cover the city in any short amount of time with all the things to see and do. In two words- great experience.
