Location:
in the heart of the Back Bay. Nice restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, boba, etc, all within a 0-10 min walk. T station 5 min away. Safe, lively part of town.
The room:
Clean, sparsely decorated. The bed was comfortable, on the softer side. Came equipped with everything needed for a short stay. Shower pressure and temperature were great. The washer/dryer unit worked well, though was not intuitive. First, in order to have water, you needed to turn a lever on the back wall to ON. Then to dry, you have to turn the dryer knob, press the SPIN button repeatedly until there's NO spin cycle, then start. Search YouTube for "
How to Use the Dry Only Feature - Washer/Dryer Combo", it's the first video and will show you the way.
Notes:
It might be worth asking Sonder what processes they have in place if something goes wrong (no hot water, clogged toilet, wifi is down), as there is no one on site.
Keep in mind that Sonder will require you to verify your identity through a link they send you.
Overall:
Great value compared to the other hotels/Airbnbs we could have booked.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this Sonder.
