[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having just done this (but with a 14-month-old and 4-year-old as well) -- I would recommend the airbnb route.  All things being equal, a suite in a hotel is probably easier, but more expensive.  I'd rather save that money to use on other things.  (And sleeping all together in one room is not much fun.)  We got some relatively inexpensive airbnbs so that kids could have a room, we could have a room, and there was a living room for hanging out.  You do not need to grocery shop -- just treat the airbnb as if it were a hotel.  Stop at a corner store and get some milk and other essentials to store in the fridge.  As for breakfast, assuming you're going to any one of the cities you listed, you should be able to go somewhere pretty close to the airbnb without much effort.  Can you take your child with you to dinners?  I wouldn't feel limited to making yourselves dinner.  As for advice -- often airbnb owners will give you some.  There are also guidebooks, the internet, etc...  One downside to airbnbs is coordinating with the owner when you get there.  We didn't have any problems with that, as we were pretty organized in advance of the trip and had responsible and responsive airbnb owners.  Good luck![/quote]

Thanks, this is helpful.  You're right, we could just walk out the door in the morning and certainly find breakfast nearby.  For dinner, DC really crashes around 7pm, which is waaaaay before dinner time in europe.  that said, his schedule might go haywire with the time difference so it's hard to anticipate. [/quote]
