Home away from home in Philly

The location was convenient and close to Rittenhouse Square, grocery stores, bars. The building is secure, quiet, and well appointed.

The property was great!!! But I am going to qualify my statement with "If it meets your needs". Price was great for a new 1 bedroom with a full kitchen. Price versus the building was spectacular! Only caveat was parking. Parking is difficult depending on your needs, but can possible work it. The apartments are very modern and you can cook because you get a full kitchen. Parking requires a residential permit from 8am until late evening except Sundays. If you do not have a permit, you can park for 2 hours. Hence since 2 hour parking limit for non residents coupled with a required permit from 8 am gives you until 10 am to check out and move your car (8 am plus 2 hours). I know this because I live in a similar area. I would definitely book this property again if I can work the situation with parking. If your an early riser and like to head out for the day then NP. This place is 5 stars if you can work with a few inconviennces.

It was within blocks of the event we came to visit. Parking was not provided but we found it on the street right outside the door and we were fine all weekend. There are many restaurants in the area.

Sonder is 5⭐️

Everything with Sonder was great! The bad part was because we booked through hotels.com our reservation number was wrong and wouldn’t let us check in with Sonder. Then our access code was wrong and we couldn’t get in our room. Book directly through Sonder if you’re going to use this hotel. Other then that is was a great location price and super clean!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our daughter’s graduation from Pennsylvania College of Optometry. Sonder was in walking distance to the ceremony venue as well as the restaurant we celebrated at afterwards. The clean, comfortable & up to date apt style made the perfect setting for a quick brunch for a small gathering of family before the ceremony. It also had great views of the city! We loved it!

Great Apartment

This location was excellent. It is a small apartment with all the necessary amenities. The building is very nice and well-maintained. This was our second stop on our trip, where we were able to wash laundry and relax.

Our hotel was very nice and spacious. The noise is a bit much. The room could use some updates and had minor cosmetic issues but overall it was pretty good. Beware that the closest parking garage was $30 a day!!

Very nice sunny apartment. Comfy beds, 2 full bathrooms. I would stay again. We heard an intermittent beeping sound and couldn't figure out what it was. We called the number and got a person right away happy to help us. We figured out the refrigerator door had to slide into a slot to close properly and the noise was an alarm. The neighborhood was lovely. We had terrific cheesesteaks within walking distance from Angelo's. My only complaint is that we needed the pullout couch, it was broken and would not pull out. My son slept on the couch and said it was comfortable.

The condo was spacious and the building immaculately clean. All the employees that we interacted with were extremely kind and helpful.The roof deck was a lovely touch. If you are on the Bainbridge side of the building, just be aware that there is a gas station across the street that can be a little noisy at night, but you are in a city so that is to be expected. Easy walking distance from many key sites find half a block from the subway entrance.

Liked: Cleanliness

It was okay

Check-in was at 4, but shortly before I received a message that they needed 45 more minutes to get the room ready. This was disappointing and required us to wait in the lobby until 4:30. The place was clean and easy to access, however the walls were thin and you can hear everything - in the halls, the water pipes, outside, etc. The location was decent for walking to different parts of the city. Overall, I’d say you get what you pay for.
