Marcel was a fantastic host and the apartment just as described - the bedroom was very neat and comfortable, with small personal shower and adjacent private bath, the kitchen area with small table for work / food, with assess to the fantastic porch.
I was quite impressed by Marcel's ease of handling everything, always being quite responsive, but never overly so, and a great resource in general. The 2 bikes just outside were a terrific perk. Oh, and the location is awesome - just down from Jordaan.
