We successfully met up with our driver at the airport and he drove us to our AirBnB in the 11th arrondissement during Friday afternoon rush hour traffic. I was relieved to see that the apartment was just as fabulous in real life as it appeared in the listing. The only aspect that came somewhat as a a surprise was the long spiral staircase that we had to traverse to make it to our second story accomodations.
Living Area/Kitchen
Doesn’t it look like an IKEA showecase?
Such a cute spot for little ones. Love that rhino stool!
Full kitchen with hidden washer and dryer. It took us a while to figure out the laundry, but it was supremely helpful in that it allowed us all to fit all our clothes into our carry-on luggage.
Bedrooms/Bathrooms
This was the bedroom where D and I stayed. I appreciated the thoughtful details, including USB ports at each bedside table. I did not even need the plug converter that I brought with me.
The toilet was located in a separate water closet right next door.
This is the room where my mom stayed.
My sister’s bedroom.
This is the bathroom that my mom and sister shared.
Another bedroom on the second floor. (My sister realized she should have chosen this room instead at the end of our stay-oh well).
The kids chose to stay in the kids room on the main floor because it had two sets of bunk beds. This room also had an adjoining bathroom that I did not take a picture of. If you have not been keeping track, this place can house up to 12 guests, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms!
Courtyard
When we first arrived, there was a group of about six small dogs running around in the inner courtyard. I am not a dog person, but these dogs were adorable and non-threatening.
After we quickly settled in, it was time for our first outing in Paris!
