Expectations vs. Reality not worth it for the high price.
Cons:
Disappointing mismatch between the airbnb photos and the actual unit. I wish I could include photos here - the rug, lamp, chairs are all different than what is pictured on airbnb. It advertises as a high end well designed place, but in reality it is a sterile hotel-room style place with bare minimum cheap furniture.
Huge stains on the rug and one on the couch couch, a chip in bed furniture, cheap crooked lamp vs the elegant one pictured.
In order to confirm the booking and stay, you’re forced to create a Sonder account and do facial ID verification, despite booking through airbnb. They said it’s because of contactless checkin, but I still had to show ID upon arrival to check into the unit anyway.
They advertise luggage storage but actually say it’s “unlocked and we don’t take responsibility for lost or stolen items”
There is also sound monitoring in the unit that is not disclosed upon booking.
They originally only gave us 1 fob, which you need to get to your floor in the elevator. As 2 adults in the stay we had to request another, and it took 2 days of back and forth to get one that worked properly.
The water pressure in kitchen sink so bad you can’t wash a dish. The kitchen is also very under-stocked.
Pros:
- amazing shower pressure in bathroom
- pretty comfortable bed
- quiet
- good location by time out market
- lounge / workspace upstairs
- gym
- fast wifi
