The good: location! Central location, super walkable, streetcar right out front. Sonder staff at the desk are great. Apartment is large, lots of natural light, great shower. Rooftop area is nice when weather allows it to be open. Great stove and
The bad: poorly managed. Floors are super dirty. Wayyyy under-furnished (like, no dresser, only one bedside table)—it felt like they weren’t finished putting things together. Kitchen chairs and living room furniture was really uncomfortable. No workspace. Internet was slow at best and went out almost daily. Air circulation & AC are LOUD and the hallways always smell like trash. Other people are able to control your tv because of everyone being on the same wifi, so you might wonder if you have a media-savvy ghost. Communication was frustrating and time consuming and ultimately unable to help much (with “host” not on-site Sonder staff, they were great!). The on-site bar, restaurant, and pool are all closed, which was a total bummer.
This is a great idea with poor execution. For a weekend or even a week in New Orleans, it’s probably a better experience. Or if you don’t need anything from the host. Do NOT recommend at all for longer stays or if you’re going to be working.
