I wish I had booked this hotel directly through Sonder, rather than AirBnB, which tacked on about $140 in fees to the base price of $150 per night.
Sonder is a nice, clean, no-frills hotel. The Sawtelle, Los Angeles location is on a busy street, next to lots of restaurants and conveniences. The beautiful Venice Beach is a short ride away.
I had trouble with check-in: you are required to upload your id, and right, left, and center photos of your face. I would not have been able to check in if my daughter hadn't helped. Moreover, the app has a glitch with Android phones and only worked on my nephew's I phone.
The minimal staff was friendly. The room was spotlessly clean, and had nice amenities. I would stay again, but direct book with the hotel, instead of AirBnB.
