Alessandra was pleasant and quick to respond to any questions I had. She doesn't directly handle much of the stay arrangements, though, as those are overseen by an agency called Rent Your Paris. They proved a bit more difficult to deal with, starting with the 60 Euros they charged for Sunday check-in and check-out -- charges for which I had no advance notice when booking with Airbnb. I'm also not quite sure how thoroughly the agency's managing Alessandra's apartment: the place didn't look it'd been swept on our arrival, and the WC light, which was out, didn't get replaced until two days later. The apartment is, however, remarkably close to the Eiffel Tower and the view alone (of the Tower) may more than make up for any managerial hiccups.
