Wonderful

Immaculate and comfortable. I was on the second floor so there was a little bit of street noise and was able to hear the subway, which runs right underneath. However, it did not disturb me. If you’re not used to urban ambient noise or you prefer something very quiet, you might want to request a higher floor. We had a wonderful stay; great spot!
The room was very comfortable and in a great location. The communication and accessing the room for the trip was irritating. They did not follow through on technical difficulties and did not send the room codes when they said they did. I had to set up an account over and over and then it just reset and they wanted me to add the app. That felt ridiculous for a one night stay.

Zero ability to contact and actual human about issues (which I had), and I was kicked out of the apartment with wet laundry in the machine. I humbly submit myself and admit that it was the checkout time, but I just needed 20 minutes to finish up and the guy who kick me out who didn't speak English made me pack my wet, soapy clothes... He wouldn't just let me wait outside the apt for the cycle to finish....
For The Price & Location I Would Put Up With The Noise Level Anyday. Literal Whole 2 Bedroom Apartment With Cups, Plates, Glasses & Right In The Middle Of The Art District ❤️
The elevators were not working and I have disability and needed help going up and down the stairwell. The elevator was still not working on my checkout date. I tried to chat with Sonder online but was never connected to an agent until
Late Wednesday night. The person staying above me was noisy and kept me from falling asleep. They woke me up at 6:30 am. I will never stay at the Sonder Ovation in Philadelphia again.
We stayed here for the Eagles parade and it was absolutely perfect. The beds are super comfortable and the apartment was roomy and had everything that was needed. For the prior complaints about noise, I think it's somewhat unrealistic of expectations. It's in a dense part of a major city and will have major city noise. Having grown up in Philadelphia and staying with two five year olds, we had no issues with noise during sleep. Would gladly stay here again.
That place allround exceesed my expectations!!! From dealing with their customer sercive cia text or phone (because Expedia couldnt hep me out) to the nearby grocery store, liquor store, restaurants, close to a metro line. Room itself was clean and cleaning staff was friendly.... If the price is right, Ill definately stay at a Sonder again!!! GO BIRDS!!!

Great place to stay near downtown
Great stay. Building and apartment was clean. The 1 bedroom apartment with office was beautiful and well appointed. Parking is on street only and is limited. Great neighborhood though, plenty of restaurants, shops, etc. within walking distance.

Definitely Recommend!!
The location was amazing!! Photos and descriptions were exactly as described. Be prepared for the difficulty with parking. But overall a great experience and will definitely book again!!!
Beautiful and clean apartment with great views. Only downside was strange noises coming from the master bathroom walls at night…random pounding. Ear plugs and a sound machine were provided and now we know why.

Sonder for a great experience
Had a great experience staying at Sonder and the communication was seamless when there was an issue with one of the utilities. It was fixed asap and the rest of my stay was great and comfortable
I loved this property. The couch was so comfortable slept there a couple nights lol. Only thing was the train runs right under the building but doesn’t bother me at night.

The place is very nice. However, the walls are paper thin and the noise from the street below is unbearable. They left us earplugs and we figured out why the first night! Impossible to sleep with the noise. Beds were uncomfortable as well.
