re: #530 Walter L. Newton

The 11th. We are in Menilmontant (put that first “n” into the back of your throat/nose and swallow it when you say it)

It is a very mixed neighborhood. There are arabic and turkish fast food joints, a Mcdonalds and a Kentucky Fried across from each other on the corner, a lot of orientals, blacks, north africans, whites, arabs… very diverse. A lot of bars/cafes, small grocery stores and a market that is set up twice a week down the middle of Rue De Menilmontant.

I don’t like to stay in tourist places. The hotel is comfortable, room the size of the bed, which helps, we have a bath (only two of the 20 rooms have a bath), it’s a no star hotel, cheap and warm.

How much does it cost per night? Breakfast included?
