Al's flat is on a quaint and quiet street but is literally a few blocks from Notre Dame. There are cafes less than a block away and if you're lucky, you may have an opportunity to have a drink at the little pub next door. There are souvenir shops along the main street and my husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Atelier Maitre Albert which is at the end of the street. The apartment was small, but it was all that my husband and I needed for our short stay. I was a bit skeptical about the pull out couch but it was quite comfortable. The kitchen had the basic necessities and even though there was not air, we were able to open the window and use the fan to generate air flow.
