Disliked: Cleanliness
The unit was large, and I liked that we had two separate bedrooms. Everything worked well and it looked nice. The shower and the shower curtain were covered in mold. We had to share the shower in the one bedroom based on this. Also, the site states that there are no pets allowed, yet I saw many people with large dogs who were staying on the property. I would likely stay at a Sonder property again, but check for cleanliness.

Wish parking was easier for the stay— needing to find parking 3 streets down or paying for expensive parking wasn’t the most ideal— I think a fixed nightly rate would have been preferred like other hotels

Great value to stay in East Austin. Clear communication and the app made finding the info for check in easy. Having a pool in the heat wave was huge. Place was standard small condo but with some nice decorating choices, we thought. Everything worked and it felt like a place you could stay longer and enjoy the full kitchen.

Five stars!
I frequently stay in hosted apartments/condos with my family while visiting Austin. This was hands down my favorite. The unit was very clean and well stocked. The location was absolutely perfect. Numerous options for breakfast lunch or dinner within walking distance as well as retail and grocery. We will be booking again!!

Very clean, but parking was awful!
It was very clean and well kept. Parking was the only downside. I wouldn’t mind paying $35 a day to park, but it gets very costly if you have to come and go and all the free parking is taken.

Unit was nice - good layout, well stocked, great pool and fitness areas. Onsite parking was very expensive, ended up leaving vehicle parked and Ubering a couple times to keep costs down. Floors in the unit need some love. The carpet in the bedrooms was old, worn, and heavily spotted. The plank for was clutter-free but very dirty, resulting in black bottoms of bare feet and socks. Ended up having to wear shoes in unit, at all times. Live music 1/2 block away that was pretty loud, every night, even with everything closed up.
