Marcel's place is so centrally located, it makes getting around Amsterdam easy. All travelers have noted the room has a shower and sink, and that toilet is shared and right outside the bedroom door. It is also true you get fairly used to the chimes (not just at the top of the hour). Stairway to the third floor is quite steep and could be challenging for those with many or heavy bags. Robert serves a fabulous breakfast and was quite fun to chat with.
