The rooftop terrace is perfect for a short stay or a backpacking trip. Great for a solo trip or a couple but it is probably too small for anything more than that. The bicycles were a great help but my wife is 5'3 and she was way too short to ride safely. (Everyone in Amsterdam is super tall). There was not an oven but the hotplate, pots and pans were perfect for small meals. The Albert Heijn is a short walk away and a great spot for groceries and craft beer. Marcel was great at returning my messages on whatsapp and he helped us out more than once. The terrace is a peaceful retreat to have a smoke and a drink.
Cons- the walls are thin, the floors are creaky and there is no actual door aside from Marcel's apartment door. So the privacy is lacking even though Marcel was a very pleasant and helpful person. He picked up up from the airport but then asked for 30 euros for the trip which I hadn't seen as part of the deal. (A little more than uber but it did make the trip very easy). Plus the shower is tiny and slippery (pretty normal for Amsterdam though).
As a do it yourself type of person this place was perfect for me so I did enjoy my 4 day stay there.

Thank you Marcel!
