The sonder is a great option and the value is good. Particularly the location is great (although I am not sure about the parking options - we did not have a car so the closeby public transportation was wonderful and we a lot of things were in walking distance as well). It takes about 15 minutes to get to Frech Quarter and 20 minutes down to the driver. Nearest (bigger) grocery store is 15-20 minutes away (walking). There are many stores, bars and restaurants super close.
The apartment is located in a large (and fancy) hotel building but separate to the hotel rooms. Check-in process was super easy. Our apartment was located on the 17th floor. We had access to 2 pools (one was super small on the rooftop. I believe it was heated) and a small but nice gym. No barbells or benches but cardio equipment, a few machines, a cable-cross and dumbbells - so enough for a good workout.
A few cons worth mentioning: the windows did not open! We found that to be a big con because getting fresh air in would have been nice. There is a constant ventilation in the living room that makes some noise. We got used to it but we were only 2 people so no one slept on the couch in the living room... It sounds like white noise but some ppl might be having a hard time falling asleep with it on (you cannot turn it off).
Another con: the apartment was right beneath the gym and unfortunately you could hear quite a bit from it throughout the day. Gym hours were 6am to 22pm.
Kitchen was amazing and fully equipped. There was also a washing machine and dryer.
We would recommend a stay here and were overall happy with the experience.
(There was no personal communication with a host. We didn't really mind because all of the info was provided in the check-in guide.)
