My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay with Sonder at this beautiful apartment in East Austin. The building was new, safe, and tastefully decorated- it felt like we were staying in an art gallery!
The apartment itself was wonderful. The photos in the listing seem like stock photos but the apartment itself looks exactly as portrayed, except more cosy and will leave you wishing you lived there! There were so many details that we appreciated- the pool and fitness center amenities, painless check-in/check-out with keyless entry, hotel soaps, tiny bottles of olive oil and seasonings, and the list of local recommendations for every part of your stay. Also, the towels were literally THE SOFTEST towels I’ve ever used.
The area is great although be aware of the fact this area isn’t as pretty or scenic as if you stayed near downtown or in SoCo. The price for value can’t be beat though! You’re 5-10 min walking distance from great restaurants and food trucks in East Austin, and 10-15 mins walking from 6th street and downtown- but you do need to walk under the overpass.
Sonder’s customer service is impeccable. They offer a phone number you can text or call for help and they work quickly to resolve any issues. I would not hesitate to book through them again- it felt more like we were staying at a hotel than an Airbnb! Couldn’t have asked for more and I would recommend this listing to any of my friends and family.
