Marcel's apartment is really something you don't see very often. It has a lot of unique antique charm, it's very cozy, warm (important in cold seasons!) and has all the amenities you need. It has a very good location, 4min away from the bus stop to/from the airport. It's not in the strict city centre, which gives the area a local feel and helps to avoid the crazy crowds in the most touristic parts of Amsterdam. It's facing a canal and it's only a 15 walk from the main attractions, there's also a tram stop just around the corner in case you're not up for walks. As for Marcel, he was very friendly, responsive and helpful. We definitely recommend staying at Marcel's place! :)
