Cute apartment in a great location
We loved the apartment. The location is great and we had no issues inside the building. It was kept very clean at all times. You could hear noise outside the window that faces canal street but with some $3 ear plugs from Walmart that issue was solved. We would definitely stay here again!

Not the best place to stay
First thing when we arrived was one bed was broken. Frame was detached from headboard and nobody on site for help. Surely the cleaners/linens people knew it. So our 2 men had to work long and hard to repair with no tools. If all girls there we were out of luck. Then the bathroom shared by 4 people was spacious but had only 2 towels. And again, who to call?? And it had a sink with VERY small counter. There was room for a table but none there and 4 sharing the bathroom and btw there were no dressers in bedrooms. In the kitchen, we took coffeemaker out of cabinet but COULD NOT put on counter bc it was too tall to fit under the top cabinets so we found a plug in the hallway and set it on the floor.
There were big beautiful window in the living area but overlooking an alley full of trash dumpsters and bright glaring lights night and day. Noise to dump trash was bad. Easily remedied if there were noise and light filtering curtains but none. One day someone dropped a daiquiri on the floor at entrance and it remained there for quite a while. Who to call?

Beautiful apartment in perfect location
The apartment was lovely and located in the perfect spot for watching most Mardi Gras parades that came down Canal. Perfect location for doing anything in the French Quarter. Parking options near by. Overall it was a great place. The only issue was the lack of on-site management because we had 4 adult staying for two nights and they gave us two towels. After a long day of travel and then trying to enjoy the evening, we were not able to shower. After multiple calls and chat messages where they were telling us where to find extra towels, we discovered that there were no extra towels. Initially, they said they would get us more towels within 24 hours. We could not wait that long to shower. Finally someone agreed to get us our towels in the morning. They showed up just before noon with two more towels and detergent pods so we could wash our towels if we needed fresh towels for later in the stay. Had to plan part of our weekend around towel deliveries and washing and drying towels. They offered a $50 credit for a future stay for our troubles. A $50 credit in the future given the price of their rentals isn’t really helpful. If they wanted to give $50 for our troubles, it should be a refund or something more useful than $50 for some possible future booking.
or stay there was amazing. The place was clean, friendly close to everything. The parade was right outside our window getting in and out was easy. They made our first time in New Orleans. Very pleasant visit. We love it. We’ll go back. We’ll use them again and other states.
The Stay was great , I would definitely book again !! Would have given 5 stars except for some minor things that can be easily fixed. 1. Signage ( hard to find ) 2. T.V. wasn't able to stream ( no local connection ) 3. Was without hot water for about 8 hours , but was fixed.

Beautiful place and location. No TV or parking.
It is a very nice apartment located in an excellent location. It was perfect for what we needed. There were three things that I did not love about it. First, if you have a car know that you will be on your own to find parking which can be fairly expensive and not very close to the apartment. We paid $40 for a garage lot About five blocks away. Second, the keypad to get into the building can be a little bit difficult. It took me several times for me to get the hang of it. The third thing was that there is a TV in the apartment, however, there is no service provided. The only way you can watch the television is to cast from your mobile phone. For such a nice place you would expect there to be at least basic cable or satellite. The casting for us did not work very well for some of the apps we tried to use.
Great property!! The only things that weren’t great were:
1. The parking situation (plus it’s hard to find the actual building.
2. The main bathroom shower had low water pressure and didn’t get hot.
Overall it was a great stay and I would go back for sure!!

The place was clean, but furniture was very old and some needed replacing. The handicap room showed a shower in pictures, but came with a tub.. Anyone who is in a wheelchair would not have been able to use the facility.. Not acceptable..

We absolutely loved staying here. Great location. Even though it was on a fun and busy street, it was quiet and the beds were very comfortable!

The room itself was amazing. Very updated, clean and spacious. I had a 2 bedroom with high ceilings and a full kitchen. The check in process is a bit laborious due to not having staff on the property but it wasn't too bad and i understand the reason for so many steps. Parking is non-existent so plan on paying for parking at a 3rd party lot or garage. The main entrance is basically a door between 2 storefronts on a very busy street and it is extremely easy to miss. If you can deal with the lack of parking and check-in process, this will be a wonderful stay because again, the room was awesome.

The room was really nice and clean. The hall way to the elevator was trashed. I did receive a subtle form of communication to pardon the inconvenience the property waa under construction. Had I know that I would have opted to stay a a local hotel with all the hotel amenities you could ask for. This property will be nice after the construction. The inconvenience of zero concierge service staying at this property was a waste of money and frankly very disaapointing. The first I've seen from a Sonder's property.
Great location, loved the apartment, it was perfect for what we wanted! Gets loud at night just based on being downtown, but that's expected. Could use a little maintenance (needed some paint and a chair was broken) but nothing major.
First time staying at a Sonder location and it was a breeze. The location was only one block away from Bourbon street, and there were a ton of local eateries surrounding it, so we didn’t have to go far to enjoy food. Apartment was very spacious and clean and even though they mentioned the water pressure issue on other reviews, it actually was fine (could have been fixed by the time we arrived) and the water worked fine.
My only complaint on the first night was how loud the central air unit was however, the air was cool (it was over 97 degrees in New Orleans), and it kept us cool and honestly we grew used to it. It was almost like white noise by the end of the first day. Other than that, an amazing location to stay at.
