Place was relative new but not in a great location if you don’t have a car. Easily 15 min walk to metro. There’s also no grocery/cvs within easy walking distance. Area generally okay but building is 1 block from interstate. This until faces it and was loud. So much so that there was a sign in the bedroom warning about city noise with a set of ear plugs and a white noise machine. I’ve stayed in hotels on Times Square so know what city noise can be like. This building wasn’t really built to be this close to the highway. There also was little insulation between units/floors. Could hear people clomping around and even talking late into the night. Place was clean and well appointed except for bathroom that was smaller than a hotel bath and had a missing shower curtain liner and mold on the fabric curtain.
Finally, be forewarned that this place uses a fairly invasive process for “pre-checkin” that requires you to upload a photo ID and do a Live Photo upload to their site. There is no opt-out for this and feels like just another way for people to expose your personal info to hackers. If I hadn’t already exhausted other stay options, I would have bailed.
Given the location and the invasive check-in, I’ll be avoiding this place next time I’m in DC. Will also likely avoid other Sonder properties as well because of weird check-in.
