We stayed one night in Patrick's apartment (a large room above his garage).
The positives:
1) very quiet
2) great views - it was wonderful looking out the window in the morning and seeing horses and a donkey in the field.
3) we were able to wash clothes - a big plus
4) we were cold so Patrick provided a space heater
The negatives:
1) difficult to find the place - be sure to contact Patrick for directions (he had emailed us, but we missed it because we hadn't been able to check email
2) to use the stove, we had to turn on a gas switch in the bathroom
3) we could not get the shower to turn on
