I was excited to stay in such a clean and spacious unit in beautiful Manhattan. Unfortunately, a few minor issues made my stay below average. The WiFi was weak, fire alarms would sporadically go off in the middle of the night, the drain in the shower did not flush properly, soap and shampoo dispensers were broken, and the most inconvenient of all… the keypad to enter the apartment door did not work properly and required many attempts (and a lot of my time) before entering. The keypad malfunction was apparently a common issue as the front desk mentioned that it happens sometimes, but did not make an effort to fix it.
The location was fairly convenient and accessible to location subway stops. It was quiet after 6pm as very few night life or restaurants surround the Sonder building.
