Corporate: We didn’t realize it when booking, but the Sonder unit is a corporate investment property. So, while AirBnB likes to put it out there that their hosts’ units are often a way for people to make it affordable to live in certain places (by renting an apartment in their house, etc), it’s units like this that are making city living unaffordable for many. Imagine that this unit goes for <$300/day, multiply that by 30, and you can understand why.
If you’re ok with that and still are interested, it’s an ok option. The check in process is a bit cumbersome, requiring downloading a special Sonder app. The Sonder representatives are very helpful, kind of in that very corporate customer-service kind of way, but if you have specific questions about your place (we had a question about parking) they don’t know the actual area, as they are probably based offshore.
The unit is overall nice. The kitchen lacks some obvious items like a cutting board. And the large screen TV appears to only function if connected to your laptop (i.e., no Roku, etc). Also, the WiFi is pretty much unfunctioning—we ultimately ended up using phone data. But it’s a pretty spacious place in a nice location.
