Kay was not there when I arrived, but the delivery of keys was arranged smoothly with her friends living in the same house. The flat itself is of very good size by Paris standards (especially great if you plan to stay longer), and despite of a somewhat lively street I never had any problems catching a good night's sleep. The flat itself is very much like in the pictures. A bit rustic at times, but works well all around.

As many other guests have noted and as Kay also mentions in the description, the area, although very close to the scenic Montmartre, does have a dodgy reputation. However, based on my own experience as well as that of my local friends, this has more to do with past than with the present. The street is a little African outpost in Paris, but I never felt unsafe there, nor was it overly noisy. Quite the contrary, I very much enjoyed the different perspective of Paris this neighbourhood offered. So as long as you are prepared for that, you'll have a great stay at Kay's place!
