Birthday celebrations.
I stayed to celebrate birthdays within my family. The location was close to restaurants and attractions. We were 2 blocksaway from Bourbon Street. The living space was clean and spacious.

Super Bowl trip
Overall experience and location were wonderful. However, needed dressers and/or storage, couch super uncomfortable (needed pillows), need to be aboe to wat h local programming- streaming doesn’t cut it! On a positive note, loved the access to extra accoutrements like TP, etc. right out in the hallway.

Absolutely Taken Advantage of!!
Unfortunately we were extremely price gauged due to the Superbowl. The pictures listed online were so far from what the property actually looks like in person. There was vomit on the elevator rug when we arrived and the hallway is overpowered with the smell of pinesol… we feel absolutely taken advantage of for the price we paid for the weekend. We assumed this would be a fun vintage/modern suite and in actuality, was an old building cheaply converted into used and abused motel quality rooms at best. I never complain, much less leave bad reviews, but this was such a scam and absolutely disappointing experience I felt compelled to speak up so others don’t get swindled to stay here!!

My only complaint is the lack of soundproofing between units. Easy to hear snoring of a neighbor and also if the area outside the building is loud this will be easily conducted into your unit. Otherwise we loved the place.

The property had 3 bedrooms and suited the six of us as anticipated. The rooms were clean and the kitchen equipped. The Sonder staff was very helpful through the app with assistance.
The strange portion was not much furnishings and/or storage accommodations.
The location was great and allowed us easy access for everything we wanted to do.

Great place to stay
The apartment we stayed in was perfect for our family trip. Just big enough for what we needed. There were a few hiccups in the beginning but everything was worked out and the remainder of the trip went amazingly. Although there is no front desk, the communication process was simple and easy. I will definitely use this company again.
