Marcel is a great host and really does everything to make this accommodating. Other people have noted this, but there really are a lot of simple amenities that make a big difference compared to staying at a hotel or with a friend. I will caution people that the cleaning person is intimidating and rude, if you do not make sure to avoid dealing with them -- I made the mistake of leaving my phone with my bags when I went out one night, and didn't see that the host had asked what time I was checking out (11 am is the checkout time), and the cleaner came while I was taking my bags out to the car, and this interaction was quite atypical from anything else that I experienced during my stay.
