I stayed at the Sacred Heart Parish Center for two weeks while at Notre Dame. I really cannot say enough good about this place. The staff was super friendly and responsive to the guests. The building also contains a large kitchen as well as washer and dryer facilities, and there is a warm and cozy atmosphere throughout.
