Moira's apartment was lovely. The pictures are an exact portrayal of what you can expect. It was clean, trendy, and had all the amenities to make our stay possible without having to bring everything from home. Moira was very hospitable, accommodating, professional, and quick to communicate. We arrived in Paris early in the morning and she arranged for us to pick up the key from her friend even though should couldn't be there in person which made our arrival much more comfortable since we were so exhausted from our flight.
Her apartment is only a brief walk uphill to Montmartre and Sacre Coure, however, the neighborhood was not ideal. While we felt safe and at home in her apartment, the street was endlessly noisy with cars and sirens sounding throughout the night. Bring earplugs if you are not used to sleeping in a very noisy neighborhood. We began the trip using the subway from the Barbes station as our main form of transportation, but quickly switched to using Uber in order to avoid the busy and stressful commute in and out of the train station. Be very careful of the pickpockets that frequent the local area and avoid traveling to or from the nearby train stations during rush hour or at night at all costs.
The pro's:
Moira is a great host.
The apartment is just like the pictures.
The wifi worked perfectly.
The water pressure in the shower was great.
The con's:
The neighborhood was loud, busy, scary at times, and lacked the Parisian charm.
The mattress was uneven (ok for one person, but potentially uncomfortable for two).
