Let’s start with the good bits. The apartment is in a great part of town with easy access to food and sightseeing. I was worried about parking but there’s a GreenP literally a block away in a stadium and the building also has (expensive) parking if you’re in a pinch. The apartment is smaller than it looks in the pictures (clever photography!) but was clean, well appointed, and quiet.
Now the not so good bits. You have. To set up a Sonder account to get access instructions before you come in and set up includes providing face recognition biometrics and government id. I didn’t have a problem doing that but some people might and it is an extra step in the process. I was also promised that once I do that I would receive instructions to enter the apartment 3 days before my visit. I got no such thing and had to chat with a Sonder rep through their app when I got there. Also, the instructions did not include how to get in to the building and in general did very little to explain the building’s confusing 2 elevator system. I figured it out on my own but the check in experience was far from smooth. Something to keep in mind if you sign up for this place.
I’d definitely do this apartment again now that I know what to expect but I hope they improve the check in process. Also, the guards at the building seemed to know almost nothing about Sonder so they won’t be much help if you have questions.
