The eiffel tower is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world drawing people from all over the world to visit.
First floor kid.
When we first started talking about our adventures by disney london and paris trip the one place that my kids constantly brought up was the eiffel tower you can t visit paris without a stop at the tower.
There s a smattering of newer bigger elevator endowed buildings but 4 5 stories is typical.
As a recent first time apartment hunter for me a big decision was whether i should pick an apartment on the ground level or on the second floor or higher.
In american english however the floor at street level is usually called the first floor.
If you re considering a first floor apartment especially with kids here are what i consider the major benefits and drawbacks.
Here s how i analyzed my options.
Husband and i moved into a first floor apartment and now we re still there with our two kids.
Go up one floor and you are on the second floor which of course is the first floor for the british.
On the first floor you don t have to worry about noise from walking about in shoes moving furniture or letting your kids or dog run around a bit.
Hardwood floors intensify this issue so if you make noise especially if you have small children living on the first floor can be worth it just for avoiding conflict with your neighbors.
I went through the pros and cons and decided that living on a higher floor was best for me.
