Hey Everyone I can't believe how much this video has blown up since I posted it. A lot of you guys have been asking me how much I pay for this apartment. Here is the response: Since I am an Au Pair I get this apartment as part of my contract deal, I don't personally pay for it. However, I have friends living in similar apartments and they are paying anywhere from €350-700 a month depending on what part of the city they are in. Thanks so much for watching and for all your comments. -Cecily
Honestly this place is perfect. The fact you have your own toilet and shower in such a small studio is amazing. Everything is so charming and the view is incredible. How could you not love it?
It s s little more complex. It s never full length and it fills the front of pipes behind. Altho it s called wine cubby, or bottle cubby, one of the slots is for your roll of garbage bags, i also have a couple of tools ( which would take insane amount of space on a shelf ( a screw driver, the plumbing wrench etc). Then you are supposed to have a bottle of water at all times - specially on top floor. Each time they do plumbing repairs means no wat, so it s the emergency half gallon water. In this space, she can aslo put her umbrella. Let me count, that leaves only 2 slots for two wines. Which is barely enough emergency reserves. Remember, she s 5th or 6 th floor without elevator (?) so you need to prioritize!
As someone who moved to Paris 3 years ago, let me just tell you that this is one of the most beautiful chambre de bonne that I've seen!!! Where the heck did you find it and how much are you paying for rent??
You're actually pretty lucky. Most chambre de bonne do not have toilet and shower in the room! Yours is a rare room, very elegant and brand new. It's almost an exception lol
Impressive use of a very small space! You don't have to share a bathroom or shower, and a lot of storage space. Trundle bed is a great idea in that space. 👍
Wow where did you find this type of apartment in Paris?! Usually small apartments like that don’t have all that modern storage space, kitchen and definitely don’t have a bathroom. You are super lucky.
The family who hires an au pair usually owns the chambre de bonne apartment that their au pairs live in. Au pairs should never be responsible for searching for their own apartments. Usually it’s also in the same building as the families apartment, also.
Dementor's Victim you would not, your toilet is sometimes in a corner, having a bathroom is EXTREMELY rare, normally you would rent this out for around 600 euros
@@karatechopster155 tf u saying man 😭😭 most studios have a bathroom and i mean what do u know about him ? Nothing so who are u to say he wouldn’t like this
it's an amazing 9m2 room ! It's very well organized, I've always seen them with a sofa/bed ("canapé-lit in French I don't know how to say it in english) and you have a full bed and it's not taking the whole space !
My crazy plant lady self would have every inch of those floating shelves COVERED with plants. Especially because it seems like you get some pretty decent natural light being higher up.
yes but in theory you shouldn't have that many plant in your room no? because they throw to much co2 at night or something like that + in paris, in autumn and winter there isn't much light in the day
@@altertopias Wtf, plants ABSORB CO2 (what humans exhale) and produce oxygen so it's quite the opposite. It's actually healthy to have plants in your room because they clean the air.
@@sarapalfy5641 the thing is at night, because they don't get sunlight, they produce CO2. i also didn't know this before. - "here are some concerns that because during the night plants produce carbon dioxide instead of oxygen, over time this could contribute the significant harm to someone enclosed in a small room with one" handygardeners.com/blog/are-bedroom-plants-a-yes-or-no.html but it's a complex issue it seems and depends in more than one factor
That is a micro-apt but designed with more storage than larger apts. And you have your own toilet & shower....and I'm impressed you have TWO sinks! Most people would want more space but hey--you're IN PARIS!! 👍🏼
@@AK-md8cq I agree, we dont need 70 rooms, but cooking in a separate room from where you sleep is a very important thing for me. Also, french people can be materialistic as well ?????????? please relax
@@islandbee Toilets & showers are never counted as 'rooms' or 'square meters' in France. She is pretty lucky to have them; most of "chambre de bonne" do NOT have private toilets nor showers but rather shared toilets & showers. There is usually one sink only. Long story short, she's a lucky girl!
So much you can do in that tiny space. Upper you bed in a "college type of bead frame" that way you have extra space under the bed to have maybe a sofa o something like that?
Hi!! Thanks so much for your comment it means so much to me :') I'm so excited to hit 1K and it seems unreal to me that there are already this many people who support my channel and content creation! Thank you so much for being one of them. Have an amazing day ♥️
❤️ ❤️ your space. I great inexpensive way to have wall art is vinyl record covers. You do not have to frame them. Over the years of my travels I collected advertising match books, ashtrays, menus from the restaurants we had drinks and dinner at. Some times is was just drinks. My dinning room wall was paper with menus and play bills from musicals and play attended. The shot glass collection is kept in two separate Pepsi bottle crates. I have an extensive ash tray collection. Some of which are mixed in with the shot glasses. The others are stacked and displayed in a bookcase. I started my travels in 1967 and got the bug to collect these easy items to bring home. So many great memories and items.
Wow, that's a beautiful little apartment😍 Are you still living there and where exactly is it located in Paris?❤️ I'd like to rent one too, for the next 3 months, but it is soo hard to find😔
This is actually not bad for the small space. I have seen other spaces like this and yours at least has the shelving etc. It provides a great opportunity for you to be in Paris.
I love that you still have a wooden countertop and it’s smart that they put windows on the closet to make the space bigger. Do you have the toilet inside?
Hello, i hope you see this. I'm renovating my bedroom now, and i think I'm gonna change my bedrooms color. Co what color did you use for your wall? I HOPE YOU ANSWER THIS THANK YOUU
To live in Paris by yourself, to me this is plenty of space! I love it. I might put a curtain around the door to the shower, but otherwise it's beautiful!
hi, im sorry to bother you but im an italian student that will be living in paris from january to june (2020), and i was just wandering if you could give me some tips on how to find a chambre de bonne who does not look depressing like the ones that i have found until now!! yours looks awesome!! thanks for your time
Leboncoin is a good site to find apartments because there are many choices that come from professionals and individuals so if you are lucky you can find affordable apartments
If you don’t mind living with other people you don’t know, maybe look for roommates who live in a bigger appartement and are looking for a new person to live with them !
I thought everything under 18m2 is just torture.(I once lived in 20m2 and it felt like prison, especially because I heard my neighbours from right to left and felt like squeezed between them) I can't believe you have to live in such a small apartment. But still very well organized
Hello Cecily! I've been waiting to come back to this video as soon as my trip to Paris was confirmed. Where did you find the place? Could you please share the reference with me? Looks sooo beautiful and I'm lost trying to find a new home!
Thank you for posting this. Your apt. Is very nice. I think, however, that you make the mistake many apt. tour video posters make: we view this to see the layout of the place and the amenities. But you tell us about your personal items such as " over here I have my water bottle" etc. Enjoy your nice place! You have everything you need!
Did you rented it with Parisian Studio cause I had a very similar one in Paris 2 years ago :) It was smaller than your 8.5m2 and in the 7th floor without elevator, kind of pricy too ;)
How much does it cost? I'm a student and I'm thinking doing an erasmus program in France, generally. But I'm curious about the price of this tiny place,which is very cuteee and well organized
omg this place is so cute does this kinda thing exist elsewhere in France or just Paris? I'm doing a year abroad for 3rd year but probably not in Paris but I'd love to live in a space like this!
Congratulations to you on having an adventure of living in another country. That is something I wish I would have done when I was younger. Great video, too. Thanks for sharing. Looks similar to some apartments in New York City. Bonne chance!
Hey, I am planning to move to Paris for a little while and I am looking for a place like that... It'll be awesome if you can let me know how did you find that place or where can I look for something similar. Thanks
