My 16 year old daughter and I visited Amsterdam for a two-night post GCSE break. We had a great visit! Marcel's studio apartment was just perfect.
Marcel was so helpful with advice about how best to get to the apartment from the airport, and met us as we were walking from the bus as well as very kindly dropping us off at the Rijksmuseum when we left. He showed us round the apartment, and had a map ready to show us how to get about.
The apartment is so well-situated - an easy walk to the Ann Frank house (book your tickets online before you go - queues are horrendous) and you're spoilt for choice for places to eat in the Jordaan area. We highly recommend a pancake brunch at Mook, a 5 minute walk away. If you're visiting with small children, don't miss the Mouse Mansion!
A most comfortable bed, tea and coffee and even some chocolates and wine were provided. My daughter slept on the sofa-bed, so we both slept well.
Marcel truly is a super-host - I'd highly recommend this as a base for exploring the lovely friendly city of Amsterdam.
