[quote=Anonymous]We did Europe at the exact same age, 3 cities and all airbnb.

2 out of 3 airbnbs had laundry which was a lifesaver. We could pack less and wash. It was a two week trip so it was nice not needing two weeks of clothing for three people.

We bought a few things for breakfast. At that age she was always eating oatmeal and fruit for breakfast. I packed a bag of oats in our suitcase and we just grabbed fruit. It also would have been just as easy to go out for breakfast but at the airbnb she ate while DH showered and got ready for our day.
The airbnb hosts are generally friendly and can give you pointers to the nearest grocery store. Sometimes they already have a packet of this info for guests ready to go.
Also, unless you pack your own diapers and wipes (which we did) you will have to navigate to the store to get those things anyways.

We ate dinner out. We ate on the early side but she adjusted.
In a hotel room unless you do a suite or put the kid in a crib in the bathroom, you are lights out with them which might make room service hard anyways.

We also sometimes snuck out of the airbnb at night - just one of us to walk around after DC bedtime.

We stayed in all 1 bedroom airbnbs. It was easy to see the layout from pictures and there always ended up being a large enough closet or side room to put our travel crib.

All in all we had a great trip. DC surprised us with naps on the go and adjusting well to the time change. We set low expectations and hoped for the best. We are so glad we did the trip!

Have fun!
