Great to have an apartment at a hotel price. I could get up early and make coffee while letting my wife sleep. I also loved having the ability to cook. Very convenient to the EL and neighborhood bars and restaurants. The only thing I did not like was the weird TV setup of only Chromecast, never could figure it out.

When I booked from Expedia I did not realize it wasn’t a traditional hotel with a reception desk and staff upon checking in. I had recently downloaded expedia and had no idea it was using a private relay automated code email that wasn’t my personal email address. The hotel is contactless access which sends a link via email upon booking, which I didn’t receive due to the automated private relay email that Expedia generates. This created an issue for me I had to call customer service to get the link sent to my phone number. Luckily there was a really cool bar on the corner that let me sit while I sorted this out. It was stressful as my phone was about to die. Once I completed the identity verification, download the Sonder app got my access codes and could finally get into the unit. The unit was very nice very clean, comfortable bed and full apartment amenities. My favorite part was the private balcony which. I enjoyed some food I had bought across the street. The hotel is located in a really cool part of town you will not run out of things to do. There’s unique bars, restaurants and attractions everywhere. Philadelphia is a really special place and this spot taps into that in a memorable way. The rooftop lounge is very breathtaking at night. Amazing view of the downtown skyline. There’s noise from the street all night but that didn’t bother me, I grew up in a big city and you can’t expect a party city to turn off at night. Nothing crazy just some drunken laughs and yelling

I thought the apartment was very clean and spacious for three guests. Parking wasn't terrible, after driving around a few times I was able to get a spot on the street. Philly is a tough city to find parking, not really the Sonders fault. My only issue when staying was the key code. Have to input it multiple times to gain entry into the apartment. That was a little frustrating when we first got there since everything is through the app and there isn't a "front desk" to go visit. Tried six different times before it finally went through. Other than that, location was nice, plenty of restaurants and shops in walking distance. We actually chose this location because we were going to a concert at the Fillmore and were able to walk there and back after the show.

We enjoyed our stay here. Instructions were clear and everything was clean and in order. Everything was great but I’d say the only negative is limited parking and construction.

Easy to get on the bus. Very close to fast food shops and coffee shops but no glossary shop or supermarket. That’s why there’s a little bit noisy outside because any cars are parked on the road.

DON'T!
DON'T! There is a train that runs every 5-7 minutes, 5am-12am 20 feet from the bedroom windows. The window quality is extremely low and does not block the noise. I am staying at the apartment with my daughter who hasn’t slept in 3 nights because of the excessive noise The walls in the apartment are extremely thin, we hear everything that happens in the hallway and neighboring apartments. The elevator was not working when I checked in forcing me to carry our luggage to the 3rd floor by foot. There is no workstation in the apartment although that is mentioned in the listing as a feature. The coffee machine is missing a piece and is not working properly. The water pressure in both showers is very low unless using extremely hot water which is not desirable in 100-degree weather. The carpet in the left side bedroom smells of urine

Spacious Safe but Loud!
We booked this property to have more space and a kitchen. It suited our needs perfectly. The kitchen had only the very basic elements-2 pots. 2 pans, no cookie sheet or anything oven related and absolutely zero cooking utensils. I requested that some be sent and no one ever got back. The neighborhood is lively and LOUD! Parties on the roof deck until late and the train runs from 5:3AM to 12:00 midnight. You can hear every train-especially in the back facing units. Our unit needed maintenance: a door coming off its hinge, the dryer in need of repair and a shower that needed a scrub.
