Pat is a great host. He's very friendly and extremely hospitable. The atmosphere around the house is relaxed and comfortable. Pat works a lot, particularly at night, so you may not see him much. But there's no need to stand on ceremony - you can make yourself at home. The bus stop into town is about 10 minutes walk, and the bus will take a further 10 minutes or so to deliver you to town. So the house's location is convenient, and the center is easily reachable. I recommend staying at his place. I had no problems whatsoever and I would stay there again.
