Crickets...
Good enough rooms but there's a cricket somewhere in the room that goes off at night. Did not sleep well at all on either night that we stayed there.

Shabby Not-so-chic
As reported by others - superficially clean (just look at the baseboards to see major dirt everywhere), getting a bit shabby (many large holes in the wall that might have been for an old curtain rod?), noisy overlooking bar with live music (bring high-quality earplugs), and the hallways reek of marijuana at all hours. Other than that, it was nice to have a real refrigerator and was walkable to where I needed to go.

Great place to stay; parking limited
The apartment was great and everything was clean and ready for us. The parking situation is not great and we had to park a few blocks away to avoid the crazy parking charge. It would have been nice to be able to park inside the lot without incurring the hefty fee. But the overall property was as promised. Thank you for a great stay.

Lovely apartment in a nice area & a super price
Lovely studio in a great regenerated area (felt safe and peaceful). Bargain price as would cost treble the amount with others. Apartment was super clean Crazy cheap value! Would have been good to have more details on parking in the area - but maybe I missed that?!? Would defo book again and would defo recommend to others. Thank you

Impressive digs for Great price
Loved the property. Lots of space for a very good price, and in a nice area. There was only 1 towel and washcloth available upon arrival, and the extras supply closet was inaccessible (code to door did not work, and there were multiple storage room doors next to the described location in the provided information, code worked on none of them), which was inconvenient, but not so much to say I was unhappy with the stay. The parking situation is rough; Sonder guests should get a special overnight rate in the garage or in the adjacent parking lot (just an opinion), but there are no other options. Street parking is paid parking until midnight. Overall, it was well worth the very affordable fee I paid for the stay. Will return.

Expensive and Uncomfortable
The room was stylish but it was uncomfortable. AC wouldn't kick on, sofa were stiff, and the beds were uncomfortable. It was a beautiful room but not worth the price.

2/10 Poor

Shower towel and toilet paper holders were broken, Reading everything Sonder at 5th had posted on their website I was ready to book. They mentioned there might be construction noise but failed to mention the bar across the street would be having live outdoor concerts all night. It was very obvious this was an issue due to the fact it went on from check-in till midnight. I'm sure this happens every weekend to the guests that stay on that side of the hotel. If I would have known I would have never booked there. I ended up having to go get ear plugs at 10:30 pm.

Quick overnight trip and the property did not disappoint. Note pad or pen in the unit would have been helpful, similar to a hotel.

The only issue we had is that the power went out for a period of time one of the evenings we were there. Otherwise, it was a great stay, great location. Would stay here again.

6/10 Good

The unit was large, and I liked that we had two separate bedrooms. Everything worked well and it looked nice. The shower and the shower curtain were covered in mold. We had to share the shower in the one bedroom based on this. Also, the site states that there are no pets allowed, yet I saw many people with large dogs who were staying on the property. I would likely stay at a Sonder property again, but check for cleanliness.

Wish parking was easier for the stay— needing to find parking 3 streets down or paying for expensive parking wasn’t the most ideal— I think a fixed nightly rate would have been preferred like other hotels
