    The only suggestion would be to change the work chair in the room, which was bad. It would also be nice to provide a water jug so that guests can fill up in places where there is a filter. ​And maybe have instructions on how to use the air. But there was no need to call during the stay.

    The stay was great, I really don't understand the negative reviews. They always responded quickly through the app. The room was spacious, comfortable and there was not much noise from the street. The bathroom even had a mirror that played music. It was great to have basic items in the kitchen (coffee, salt, sugar) and storage for extra necessities (more soap, for example). The room was clean when I arrived.

    There were tiny cockroaches in and around the kitchen sink, which is inevitable but could be avoided with better lighting around the room especially in the kitchen.

    1) Fantastic location within walking distance of 2 metro stations, one of which connects directly to the airport. Easy access to the bus network as well, and within walking distance to other popular DC tourist attractions. 2) Room amenities were beyond our expectations. Fully functional kitchen enabled us to prep our own meals and reheat food. Laundry facilities were available as well which was great. 3) Room was spacious and comfortable for a 5 day stay

    Very annoying to have to type in such long codes every time 3 times to get to your apartment. Plus the one at the front door did not always work, resulting in that I was such outside waiting for someone to come in/out The room was large, but very empty

    That is it an apartment with good kitchen tools

    a minor issue with the water in the tub not going through the drain easily. But it is not serious.

    the floor plan and the fact that the door has a security bar given that no reception in the building.

    It was unusually hot in late October and they had turned off the AC. Uncomfortable for a few of days but they quickly provided us a stand fan. Also our room was in the rear above a noisy alley. Try to avoid those rooms.

    Everything was fairly new. Very efficient using the Sonder app for everything. Good variety of food choices nearby. The kitchen was handy and the laundry on every floor (first load free). 15-minute loading zone on the street was helpful. Attentive staff communication.

    Heating/cooling didn't work properly - apartment was very hot when I arrived, tried to cool but only blowing hot air. Could open the window but very loud outside (mechanical systems running just outside the window. The apartment building itself is not in great shape. The Sonder online system is very annoying - it sends frequent reminders to check in weeks and weeks before arrival, it sent the wrong check in information, then sent another but did not indicate which was the right one. Then continues to send emails over and over following the stay.

    Apartment kitchen was well appointed, location was great. Other furnishing were nice, a bit spare.

    It is annoying that you're not supposed to be able to use the lobby until the 4pm check in time, which is quite late. I was fortunate to have some folks let me in so I could wait in the lobby until I could check into my room since I didn't want to wander around the city with all of my luggage.

    Clean and comfortable rooms with a convenient kitchenette.

    I was not able to get electronic/hands free unlocking on the door to work - but truth be told, I only tried once. It was fine manually entering the code to unlock the door. Lighting was a little dim at the door to see the code pad well. I was told the code we put into the storage lockers would work for the front door, but ours did not work and someone had to let us in. Also the handicap locker-lock was broken.

    I was 5 blocks from a trader joes - a bit of a walk, but did not mind. It was easy enough to get there and back (took a backpack to carry groceries). The apt. allowed us to eat some of our meals and breakfast before leaving. We were also able to do laundry before during our stay, so bringing less worked out. Laundry was on an app, but easy to use. We were only a few blocks from the White House, which was nice, and only 1.5 blocks or so from the nearest subway station - actually two stations were close.

    The bed, whilst large and clean was sagging in the middle, worst case of 'roll-together' I've experienced in ages. I asked for the kitchen faucet to be fixed, never happened! The keypads to enter the code into were ok on the room doors but took some pretty heavy pressing to register the numbers on the elevators and the front door, having 8 character codes is a bit over the top. By the time you punched them in the elevator had gone past the floor that we wanted!

    The location was great. The room was spacious, plenty of room for everything, certainly better than some hotels I have stayed at. It was only a 8 minute walk to the White House and National Mall, so close to a lot of attractions.

    For the rating, you need the "not applicable" option for rating staff since you don't actually deal with any staff. It would be very useful to have a dresser in the room or a piece of furniture for clothes. The hallways and entrance way could be cleaner.

    Large room with nice kitchenette and easy check in and check out.

    Only problem I had was that -- given the location of the bed -- the microwave light (clock) was directly in line with my head on the pillow. I am a very light sleeper and need a very dark room at night. I had to suspend a towel from the cabinet over the microwave to dim the light so I could sleep.

    Kitchenette was very helpful!

    You need to get a laundry app to use the washer/dryer. This was somewhat of a challenge if you don't use lots of apps! However, once we got the app, the washing procedure was easy. This should be stated in the room guide/instructions. Lighting in the bedroom could be a lot better. Checking in: At times the code doesn't work with the first or second attempt. We found if you input the code quickly it works on the first attempt.

    The room was actually a studio apartment. We expected a small kitchenette, but we had a full, modern kitchen. It had all the necessary utensils, nice dishes and other amenities. The bed was very comfortable. We liked the open area between the hall and bathroom where the ironing board, and open closet with plenty of clothes hangers, plus a nice sized mirror were available. The bedroom was nice, ample size, clean & comfortable. Plenty of electrical connectors are available. The lighting was not enough around the bed, more raised lights would be better for reading. Nice mirrors throughout the space. Location was excellent. Very nice Peruvian fusion restaurant right next to Sonder. This made a huge difference because restaurants close earlier in the downtown area. Gregory's coffee within one & two blocks, plus a Pete's coffee on 17th. A huge plus are having the Metro stations very close by. You can easily get to the IAD airport (49 mims + walking to Gates, total 1hr & 15 mins to be safe), and major tourist sights. There's a Nordstrom Rack about a block away, very convenient if you need to purchase clothing to adjust to the weather. We felt very safe walking from the metro to the hotel even late at night.

    The tap water had a strange taste (I didn't like the after taste using the tap water even for brushing only). There is a filtered water provided but I had to go down every time and also there was no pitcher in the kitchen.

    Location is amazing, really close to at least 2 metro stops and bus stops. Area feels safe although I never really went out very late. Quite close to coffee shops and other retails stores. I also remembered walking from there to White house and its just 20-30 minutes away by walking. I like that the studio with kitchen had complete equipment to actually cook - which I normally do when I travel. Also, they left ground coffee packets to make your own brewed coffee. The room size is big and complete with typical hotel stuff (e.g. iron, iron board, hair dryer) so I didn't need to request like in other smaller chains.

    Some noises from the street during the early morning.

    I felt safe. It was clean, confortable, well equipped and close to car rentals and the metro (red line). It’s location is centric, relatively near to most of the principal attractions. It was quite during the day even on weekdays. ¡Great value!
