Cutest Chambre de Bonne in Paris Apartment Tour

[@suewhiting]

Love this! Such a pretty apartment in such a gorgeous part of Paris.

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Thank you!! 😊

[@nataliemeier8640]

I don't consider this as an apart.)

[@mariarohmer2374]

What a building!😃

[@TravelwithLizzie]

It is pretty special!

[@dianebaugher3919]

What a beautiful building you live in!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

It’s my favourite home away from home!

[@rudalsxv]

I realize it’s all relative but hearing the word “massive” describing this space was hilarious 😂 Definitely cute and cozy though!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Haha I know! I was expecting it to be and feel much more tiny than it was. I find it fascinating how our perspectives and expectations change how we experience things.

[@darleneaitken1620]

The building is magnificent.

[@TravelwithLizzie]

It truly is a beautiful and well kept building ☺️

[@kathyokinaga9888]

Safe, clean and super cute!!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

It’s my favourite home away from home 🫶

[@jag2002]

Adorable, probably the smallest chambre de bonne I've seen. 🥐💐Love the wallpaper ♥

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I agree! It’s tiny but perfectly formed 🥰

[@cindybogart6062]

I love your place! It’s very homey!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Me too!

I just tripped on your channel Lizzie and you have produced such wonderful, engaging content which is also extremely informative. Well done, and keep going with your channel. Blessings - Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK 🌹

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Wow, thank you!

[@ShoraBill]

I heard that bed bugs are mostly found in the maids rooms and sometimes they make their way to the whole building 😮...!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I’ve never encountered bed bugs in Paris…

[@ShoraBill]

@@TravelwithLizzie Hi ,,, u're lucky..!actually,there are MORE than bed bugs, recently these things are talked about because they are really bothering people,,, I lived and sill work sometimes on apartment renovations , most of the haussmannian buildings lack ventilation,the air doesn't circulate, also they don't throw away the cardboards ,sometimes they stay in the courtyard for weeks,till eggs grow within,we were working on an apartment (€4 millions) rue marbeuf, very fancy and when u get in you're struck by a strange smell all along the stairs,,,, anyway enjoy ur place and be safe,,,, the earliest I will return to Paris will be in the spring, hopefully by then, les punaises disparaîtront.

[@JessicaA]

That’s a very classist thing to say. Bedbugs eat people in all income brackets, just ask Manhattanites

[@ShoraBill]

@@JessicaA actually u probably haven't read my second comments,,, what I'm saying in general in French housing including fancy apartments and even very expensive townhomes around, avenue Foch, Friedland, park Monceau ,,,, THERE'S A LACK of VENTILATION, and that's one of the factors. Read my answer to LizzieWhiting.

[@cindybogart6062]

@@TravelwithLizzieyou can buy bed bug spray almost everywhere!

[@DavidSargent-p5g]

The wallpaper makes the room feel even smaller

[@TravelwithLizzie]

The wallpaper is one of my favourite features - made it feel so bright, light and roomy (in person)

[@sharonneedham9443]

Name if it & price are important surely, Sharon Needham. Please let me know asap

[@vs123]

Very nice

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Thanks! I miss my little Parisian apartment already

[@blanchenoirview]

De qué año son estos edificios??

[@TravelwithLizzie]

It’s located in the 16th which is known for its Haussmannian buildings and assume it would be from that era. Don’t know the exact date sorry!

[@agatadusko9646]

people...how is this even legal?

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Each to their own ☺️

[@Jane-he4xx]

Stunning building... but not having your own toilet would be a deal breaker for me!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

It was an adjustment for sure and I was concerned before arriving. But it was always pristine (cleaners came daily) and I never had to wait for it to be available. So worked well for me in the end ☺️

[@CarmenGonzalez-i3o]

Life seems so easy and simpler tgem America

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I definitely find it easier to enjoy the simple things in France, and try to take that same approach with me wherever I go ☺️

[@barbarakaywhite5166]

sp cute

[@TravelwithLizzie]

🥰🥰🥰

[@EdelweisSusie]

She’s only there for two weeks? Is this an Air B&B??

[@TravelwithLizzie]

That is correct! Explain it all in the vid and links are in the description if you’re interested in staying there too. It’s my perfect home away from home ☺️

[@eiffeljacques5426]

What do they charge weekly?

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I’ve put a link in the description - enjoy!

[@sharonneedham9443]

Name of it would be helpful and price ???

So glad I'm old...

Happy you’re happy ☺️

[@jammasterjay4298]

Two weeks???looks like you are moving in for good

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I totally could!

[@dulcegonzalez6102]

I have a question; ( how much do you pay for a room like that? Thank you for cheering 🫶❣️😊

[@TravelwithLizzie]

There’s a link in the description ☺️

[@skaania]

where is the toilet?

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Just down the hall. It’s shared with a couple of other apartments.

[@4shotss]

smull!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

So tiny but so good!

[@bobwin1307]

Looks like you leave in the RV.

[@TravelwithLizzie]

It’s definitely on the smaller size 😂

[@peterhoebarth4234]

I think, 800 for one Mounth is the Price.

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Price varies, see Airbnb link to check for your dates ☺️

[@peterhoebarth4234]

@@TravelwithLizzie . no

[@deborahcurtis1385]

I like it but the mirror is hideous! I couldn't stay there for that reason. It just looks like it's been smashed. Otherwise cute and practical as a space. They should elevate the bed for storage.

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I know! The mirror was so awkward and practical. There was storage under the bed that I didn’t feel I needed to use, any higher and you’d have issues with opening the window.

[@nataliemeier8640]

OMG..how small is this! People take all if it names 'Paris';) And how do you watch TV with the sweetis in front..

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I didn’t use the TV (and the sweets were only there temporarily as were a gift for a friend) ☺️

[@mar6781]

This is horrifyingly small. Is it even legal for them to rent this space out?

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Chambre de bonnes aren’t for everyone ☺️

[@writerforlifeify]

@@TravelwithLizzie Whether for everyone or no one, a chambre de bonne below a certain square footage is legally unrentable. There are over 100,000 of these tiny bedsits all over Paris, most without bathrooms or running water & many, maybe the majority, are sitting empty under Parisian rooftops as they are too small to rent out. Hence, the OP's question: Is it even legal to rent this space to you? If below 85 sq feet or so, then no (unless the minimum size was updated).

[@CathyGuthrie]

Is the shower directly behind the kitchen sink ??..i realise its practical 4 plumbing..but hygiene would b compromised...i think this person is super tidy..but a messy person..ohh..too close (not to insult)..just H&S in prim/proper new zealand

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Everything is very close in a chambre de bonne - and I learned to be very tidy and clean. I also rarely cook in Paris and eat most of my meals out. But let’s just say I was happy the toilet was separate down the hall (albeit shared) 😂

[@sandraarnold9869]

Thanks for showing us around your apartment. I would like to suggest, if you do this agin, that you would slow down. Sometimes you talk so fast, it's hard to understand

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Thanks for the tip! It’s my eternal battle with myself to speak slower - especially when I’m excited and passionate about something 😂

[@darleneaitken1620]

It's awfully small. But if you don't mind, I don't mind.

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Each to their own! I found it to be more than enough space for me ☺️

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Claustrophobic - - could not do it!

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I completely understand, it’s definitely not for everyone. But for me it’s perfect!

[@imsk6729]

Be careful... your privacy is more than compromised😢...

Get an air-purifier for the kitchen to help with cooking odors......they're not just 4 smokers or bathrooms. why do you keep saying "Bench" when referring 2 your kitchen "Counter"?🤔 Not 4 me....but as a hotel room it'll do.....except 4 the toilet thing.....😮

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I’m from Australia; it’s commonly known as a ‘bench’ here ☺️

the building is gorgeous but i hate this room.

Agreed! It’s not for everyone. Was perfect for me though ☺️

[@laurie7770]

Sorry no thanks

Fair enough! It’s definitely not for everyone.

This is daft sorry all this waffle but not info we’d need 🤷‍♀️

[@TravelwithLizzie]

Sorry you feel this way… but please keep in mind I didn’t have a list of your information requirements when I made it. So maybe not daft, but just not the right video for you.

[@mariebuckman8787]

Far too small should not rent these apartments very claustrophobic landlords havin a laugh😮

I don’t know how I’d go long term… but was everything I needed for my stay. It’s definitely not for everyone though!

Dangerous to show where you are, I frequent Paris and know exactly where that is 🫣 Realised after you was only there for 2 weeks 😊

Yep, and posted after I had left. I never post on social media in real time for that exact reason ☺️
