Fantastic location

The apartment was beautiful and within easy walking distance of everything. The view was spectacular. The terrace would be lovely when the weather is warmer. I am already planning another trip. There are only 2 things to be aware of: 1) unloading luggage is challenging, there isn't really a good place to park 2) be aware that the main bed is a double and not a queen.

We stayed at a one bed room apartment for a week and totally enjoyed it. The apartment is new, well decorated and clean; there is a small but nice gym on the basement. The neighborhood is a little noisy from the street traffic at night (the windows could use a bit better insulation). Not too many restaurants or shops in the immediate surrounding but we had no problem using Uber to get around. Overall, we really liked it.

I loved how you can walk to many places that has so much culture like love park, museums, and many good bars and restaurants. The view at nice is also a plus from the room and rooftop amazing. Also loved the privacy. What I didn’t like was the looked nice but had so many damages and black smudges on the white walls. Try to get room change and never received a response until the 2nd day I was there, mind you I was there for 3 days. Also had stains on the comforter and the extra one was ripped. I requested a new one didn’t happened until the next day. The elevator also had went out and they never gave a notice even though they say they did. So would I come back to this Sonder no I would not and would not recommend.

Overall I liked the property. Walls are a little porous between apartments. They need to fix the squeaky doors. I stayed at 2 apartments. In the first the bathroom door woke everyone up when it was opened and closed. The second apartment (i added on a day) had a noisy bedroom door. All they need is WD-40.

Brand new building was clean and very elegant. Some things of note, the combination washer dryer went absolutely insane while washing a tiny load of laundry. Was aggressively shaking and flopping around and sounded like a jackhammer. Sorry to any of my neighbors that thought I was trying to break the wall down. Also the bathroom faucet was loose and literally falling over into the sink like it was on a hose and the coffee maker had the last guests brewed coffee and coffee grounds in it. Other than that it was a great stay

Too much noise from adjacent unit with people partying al night Long and unable to sleep. Not having a front desk to complain or get issues resolved at odd hours is a big problem.

Quiet location, beautiful and modern decor. Windows floor to ceiling brings lots of light and a great view. The only bad thing I can say is that you can hear everything from next room…

My first time staying at a Sonder. The location was close to Temple University. Parking lot access right next door. Room was spacious and had all the amenities. My husband is handicap and in a wheelchair so I live chatted and asked for assistance and even though there is no on site help they sent Jonathan to help and he was great. Like your own little apartment. Only con was could hear person above us walking. Sounded like jolly green giant.

Nice but loud and unsecure entry to main hallway

It would be ideal hotel for a solo trip with no kids. No front counter or drive up area to unload luggage Door to the lobby is very unsecure, questionable People in the hallway at times. Rooms are very loud due to outside traffic. Rooms were nice, probably would not stay there again.
