I did enjoy my stay - and really appreciate the ability to check out late and even morning croissants(yum!).
I do think that the oven situation is a bit problematic, and cooking just proved to be too hard(and dangerous, at least for me). Since this has not been noted beforehand, I did feel that part was causing the whole deal to be less good. I also thought the noise from the church during Monday night was too much, and the living room window wasn't really that helpful.
That all being said, the host's flexibility in terms of letting me use the apartment until the late afternoon and the generosity - made me feel better!
