Our 4 bedroom, 4 bath home occupies approx. 240 sq. meters on 3 floors.

As you enter the first floor from the front door, you will find yourself in a large, comfortable living room with 2 couches and a large funky rattan hanging chair. Our furniture is largely a mix of Chinese and Thai. The living room has a spacious 2 story high ceiling and a 46" flat screen television with satellite cable. The living room extends to the left, and as you walk to the left you'll find a full-bathroom; and an entrance to a large, sunny dining room with a wood-beam ceiling and a stone floor. The dining room table seats 6-8. The dining room opens onto a spacious kitchen containing 2 refrigerators, a dishwasher, oven, a gas stove-top and a microwave. There is a small table with 2 chairs in the kitchen as well.

During your stay, we can arrange for meals to be made for you as well as a maid for cleaning, laundry, etc. if you would like.

Walking up the stairs towards the second floor, you come to a landing, off of which there is a bedroom, approx. 4 x 4 meters. The room contains a double bed, closet, and a small desk. We currently use this room for guests. Continuing up the steps to the second floor, you'll come to an open sitting room with couches and a smaller flat screen television. The sitting room balcony overlooks the living room on the main floor. Off of the sitting room to the left there is a well-lit sun-room/office. The office has a small day-bed and a comfy chair, making it a wonderful place to read and relax. To the right, off of the sitting room there is a full bathroom with two sinks. This is a common area bathroom. Next to the bathroom there is the second bedroom, again approx. 4 x 4 meters. There is a "loft" bed, desk, closet and hanging chair in this room.

Additional information:
Our home is located in the NE quadrant of Beijing, about 15 minutes from the Capital Airport. The home is in a gated community called Capital Paradise.

Our neighborhood is conveniently located approximately 30-45 minutes from the many sites of downtown Beijing including: Tienanmen Square, the Forbidden Palace, Hou Hai, the Temple of Heaven(a favorite!!), the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and many, many more! Transportation is available by taxi, private driver, and subway. The house is approx. 1 km away from the nearest Beijing Metro stop. In addition, the house comes equipped with 2 bikes for adults and 2+ for tween-age children.

As well, it is only about one hour from many access points to the Great Wall. Some of these are very easily accessible, and a bit more touristy, and others more for the avid hiker or the Wild Wall.

Our neighborhood is in a suburban gated community that is very family friendly, secure and a nice retreat after the hustle and bustle of the inner city. In our compound we have a clubhouse that has indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, a salon(you can call for massages, manicure or pedicures to be done at the house too!) and a restaurant. As well, in the very close vicinity there are many Chinese and international restaurants that you can go to or order in for delivery. There are a few grocery stores where you can find all the food that you might have at home, or Chinese ones which always have interesting finds. We have a few pubs, wine shops and other shops for necessities or otherwise that you might need. Banking is readily available with many ATM's just down the street.

From Capital Paradise, you can also easily venture out and see local neighborhoods right in the area. It is always fun to enjoy a bike just outside of the compounds into these neighborhoods. There are also some great shops for furniture just across the street from our compound and they easily ship items home for you.
