Chambre 19 let me channel my inner Rimbaud, a small room up many curved steps with
a window on a quiet alley. It was minimal, and yet enough. Unfortunately my plans to tour Paris extensively were clipped by the pandemic restrictions so I spent more time in the 100 sq ft than I anticipated, with no cooking. The shower and room are renovated, quite clean, and the adjacent exterior bathroom was fine also. The hosts are very nice, relaxed but quick to solve any problems. When I needed to make a phone call to Canada, he walked with me two blocks to make certain I found the phone store! Just really nice. The neighbourhood is working class, ethnic, but real, varied and unthreatening. Very close to Simplon Metro station, key to getting around Paris. Good location to explore Montmartre which I did extensively. Not fancy, but basic and a good deal if you are out all day.
