We had a lovely stay in the Platina. Staying on a ship in Amsterdam is a unique and wonderful way to experience the city. The ship is surprisingly roomy. Our kids (ages 12 and 10) enjoyed the foosball table and the kids bedrooms. Laura was very helpful in introducing the boat to us, and providing helpful tips about the neighborhood (including a recomendation to a wornderful restaurant close by, Marius, which is a "Don't Miss" if you want a memorable dinner). The location was close to walking into town, and once we got oriented it wasquite easy to get around. Thank you, Rene and Laura, for being such wonderful hosts!
