Vicki and I had a great time visiting Amsterdam! A big Thank You to Marcel! Not only with a great place to stay but he also went out of his way to help us get around and feel welcome. The apt. is exactly as described.... the coffee maker and coffee were really appreciated (especially by Vicki). He responded propmptly to our booking.
Everything was very clean, nice shower. The location is great for using public transportation although we walked just about every trip to the city center (approx. 25 minutes) and back from the museums. This let us experience more of the "local flavor". On our way back to the apt we stopped a couple times at Cafe Thuy's for dinner and some Dutch beer. Recommended by both of us. Marcel is very personable .. we felt very welcome. He provides plenty of documentation on the apt. and for getting around the city. The roof terrace is very nice, private. I am 6'3+" and weigh 250 and the bed was great if anyone is wondering.
We would stay at his apt again without reservation on another trip. Thanks again Marcel!
