My husband and I stayed at the Sonder at really enjoyed our time there! We were located just a block or two from the metro which made it super convenient to make trips to the National Mall to sightsee. It was so nice to have a kitchen with a few basic utensils available for us to use but we didn't end up using it much because we ate out at so many of the surrounding restaurants. If you're staying in DC, I HIGHLY recommend you head over to Founding Farmers for breakfast and for dinner, they had the best food ever! It was a new experience for us to not have a front desk person checking us in, but once we got our confirmation email with the checkin instructions we figured it out just fine and got used to not having someone there. I will say, this area doesn't seem to have much for nightlife and on the weekends many of the nearby restaurants are closed so just be aware of that! Overall, I would definitely recommend the Sonder.
