That's exactly what I did last time. The upstairs guy is good, young guy who likes to stay in and smoke pot with rich parents to back his rent. Downstairs is getting a crazy good deal. It was cheap to start with, then she hit money problems and her rent was dropped so she could stay. Dropping her rent $50/month was a big deal to her, but allowed me to keep a good tenant who takes really good care of the place. If you go empty for 2 months trying to find a new tenant to pay the extra $50/month it takes a year and a half of the new tenant staying to make it worth while.
