Want to see the places we stayed in Europe?
Hey, I'll even tell you how much they cost. I'm a good friend like that... plus it's not like you couldn't find out yourself.
Maybe it will help you in planning your own cost-efficient trip :)
And away we go...
We will begin our journey in London, UK. Welcome to Picadilly Backpackers Hostel. Come on in.
Below is our four person hostel room. We shared it with another couple from Spain. There was not a lot of communication. They were very nice though and I think we lucked out for multiple reasons.
Dustin was not crazy about sleeping in a room with strangers... I didn't really mind.
See our sleep sacks?
Here are our lockers. We brought our own combination locks. They were very spacious and we felt like our stuff was safe and secure when we were away.
This place had no AC and was kind of warm, had communal bathrooms w/showers, you could pay for wifi and it also had an internet room with lots of computers, and it was very centrally located in London. You can read all about their amenities on their website.
It was your basic hostel experience in a big city and you get what you pay for.
Speaking of paying... a 4 bed share room like this is $25 per weekday per person and $29 on the weekdays per person.
The braver you are, the cheaper it is. Meaning, if you are brave enough to sleep a room with 10 other strangers, the rates go down even more!
Check it out. Here is their website.
After London we went to Paris.
I don't have pictures of the actual room, BUT I do have a link.
The up-side to this is that the pictures on the website look EXACTLY like what we saw when we got there. So be sure and check it out if you want to see our room.
The website we used was airbnb.com. If you use this website be sure to check reviews. The guy, Etienne, that we rented from was awesome and had lots of great reviews. He spoke English and was very helpful and available when we needed him!
This one room apartment didn't have AC either, had a sink and a shower in the room, the toilet was down the hall, had free wifi, and you had to walk up six flights of stairs to get to it (we were definitely aware of this before booking). It was very nice and clean, had a metro stop at the end of the street (very important), and we could see the Eiffel Tower in the distance from our windows!
It was $71 a night... which is very affordable for Paris! We didn't want to do the hostel thing all the way through our trip... and this was a great switch up for us.
With all that said, we loved our stay in our little one room apartment in Paris :)
More on Italy & Ireland coming soon.
To be continued...
