Sonders is conveniently located just a few yards from a subway entrance, which is great for getting anywhere in NY. The surrounding area has a typical Brooklyn vibe, so nothing to write home about on that regard. There is a Starbucks across the street, and a great bagel place that serves a delicious everything bagel with lox, and a few bodegas.
The staff at the desk in the entrance were all really nice, they had a security person every night. The room was very small as advertised but comfortable, clean but not spotless, the restroom was tiny and clean, also as expected, the mattress was really hard but it felt clean and so did the bed sheets and comforter.
If you are a minimalist like me, this is a great place to stay, overall this place offers great value, a comfortable, clean, safe place to stay for a very reasonable price. I do recommend this place and I would go back anytime.
