Ive stayed with Sonder before (at the Essex in Chicago) and this was a night and day experience for this location.
I loved the location and check in was easy, but we immediately noticed upon arrival that the bathroom had a tear/hole in the ceiling and the grout in the shower needs a good scrubbing—it was yellowish. The water pressure for the sink was extremely low and it’d be nice to have a fresh roll of toilet paper than the previous used one that was just folded and stamped over. The toilet seat also seems to have a crack/scratch (bacteria! gross!), but overall the bathroom just needs a refresh and deep cleaning.
The barn doors for the bedroom with the two skylights should have better privacy panels-especially for a two bedroom/multiple guest stay. We would close them and they would slide back open or there would be huge gaps you could see through from outside the room.
The elevator was extremely slow and reaked of cigar smoke from the second floor cigar lounge. The furniture was really low to the ground (we’re in our 20s and have good knees) it was just uncomfortable to sit down that low. Like yes—the furniture is great for aesthetic/photographic purposes, but I would not sit there and watch a movie or tv show after coming back from an outing or ordering takeout.
Unfortunately, this Airbnb made us wish that we had gotten a hotel.
