From base there are a lot of different ways to discover Amsterdam. Take the blue trams, hop-on hop-off canal boats or just walk, or bike. Everything is close by.
The experience you are about to take is unlike any stay at a hotel or bed and breakfast. When you stay in one of Marcels quarters, you get something more personal, profound, beautifully furnished and decorated with art. The pleasant atmosphere will make you feel comfortable.
Marcels Creative Exchange is the longest existing private accommodation in Amsterdam
(since 1970) and is directly connected to the oldest Dutch cinema "De Uitkijk" (free admission for guests).

Biography
Marcel (see picture) has received international recognition as a graphic designer, and his designs were chosen by UNICEF to be used for theprestigious Dutch Kinderpostzegels. Marcel was also a pioneer of the Dutch National Television Foundation (NTS 1961-1968). See this article for more information (De Spreekbuis, 2010) and www.vormvanvermaak.nl for his work (text in Dutch only). He was one of the designers for the City of Los Angeles, during the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. In addition to a degree in carpentry, which has enabled him to create unique designs throughout the rooms, Marcel studied at the Academy of Art "St. Joost" Breda, The Netherlands, and in 1978, Marcel went to the Academy of Art University in San Fransisco with intentions to reaffirm himself if he iis an artist. Instead of coursework, Marcel gained recognition of his artistic power and helped others obtain grants for their own artistic intentions. He also worked on extensive volunteer projects in Zurich, at Bahnhofstrasse, a studio that at times was used by Pablo Picasso. During that year Marcel had an internship with graphic designer Alfred Weiss.
'De Uitkijk' - 100 Years Cinema 1912-2012 - FREE TICKETS
The oldest cinema of the Netherlands, founded in 1912. An old warehouse on the Prinsengracht was transformed into a filmhouse for the elite, named the City Cinema. In 1929 it was adopted by the Filmliga who changed it’s name to De Uitkijk. The new director, Mannus Franken, was inspired by the French avant-garde cinema’s and wanted to create a similar atmosphere in De Uitkijk. The movies played were chosen by artists and connoisseurs to ensure quality. Franken wanted to create a movietheater in which art was played and no entertainment. Untill today the cinema goes to present famous classic movies in the spirit of Franken. The latest renovation in authentic style, was completed on 30 September 2007. Marcel will provide free tickets to his guests.
