1. Easy access to the metro(8) and the tram-- it takes only like 20sec from the metro to the lodge.
2. Supermarkets near the lodge
3. David is living in the same building so we could get helped promptly.
I don't expect much from hotels, hostels, bnbs, etc. whenever I visit Paris, because wherever I stay in Paris, I know I wouldn't be satisfied with any places I choose to stay. This time I stayed at David's lodge for 3 nights with my sisters, and nothing could be better at David's. We were so glad that we could stay here. We definitely hope to stay at David's when we revisit Paris.
