This was a nice little apartment for my short stay.Other than the stairs which I didn’t know about until just before I arrived, it was exactly as described. Clean and nicely decorated. It is a little loud in the neighborhood but even that was addresses with the amenities. I would definitely use again.

Updated, minimalist interior design. Near Copley Station on the green line. Easy, keyless building access. Walking distance to loads of shops, restaurants, and parks. Dangerously close to late night eats. Combined washer/dryer unit can take several hours to dry clothes completely. Don't use anything above a medium spin cycle or it might shimmy down the hall. Noise mentioned in other reviews was not a big issue. The street can get very busy which is great and you will hear the neighbors walking with purpose upstairs. The pluses here outweigh any drawbacks.

The location was perfect for visiting. It’s close to everything: market, shopping, dinning, ect. The area is safe & beautiful. The apartment is clean, but the kitchen has no cooking stoves or cookwares, just microwave. So the term “kitchen” is misleading. Unfortunately, my kid has special diet. We struggled to find things for her to eat not being able to cook. The fridge doesn’t dispense ice or water. The noise can be bothersome for some. And, there's no elevator. Be prepared to lift your belongings up the stairs.

This was in the heart of Back Bay. It was a cool experience to stay right on Newbury street. I had heard people complaining about noise but with some ear plugs it wasn’t a problem at all (they even supply a little white noise machine) but you are in the heart of the city you can’t be complaining about noise! The light in the bedroom was amazing. Our unit was the accessible unit so it had its own elevator! Quick walk to Copley station which is the perfect location on the Green Line cause you can use any train to get downtown and north station.

Pros - Right in the middle of Newbury Street with great shopping and restaurants right at your doorstep. Comfortable bed. Clean apartment. Kitchen well equipped with dishwasher, Washer dryer, microwave. Reliable internet. Spacious interior. Lift access to level 4. Cons - Very noisy at nighttime so difficult to sleep. No table to eat food so eat on bed or in the two lounge chairs on your lap. Needs some sort of bedside tables next to bed. The biggest concern was safety due to the fact that the lift is shared with Shake Shack. On two occasions we pressed the button to go down and when the lift opened there were men literally staring into the kitchen as the lift opens straight into your apartment (there is no door from the lift). On another occasion it appeared to be that a homeless lady had found her way into the lift and seemed surprised when my wife entered. We later saw her on several occasions living rough. There is something not quite right about the set up even though there is a security code to go to floor 4 that’s unique to the guest, it is not without the possibility of others entering which is a little scary. The final con was when we requested an early check-in for 2pm. We received notification at 3.45 that we could checking early. When we went to activate this, Sonder wanted to charge a significant amount for it. We felt this was opportunistic! If the place is ready why not show some good will like everywhere else does!

The place was great, I would love to come back next year. My only issue which is at 9 am this morning, housekeeping came into my room while I was in my underwear sleeping in bed. Our check out time was at 11 am. It was quite embarrassing and not a fun way to wake up.

Comfortable, functional, and clean suite. While no reception and consierge on site, they have have a good chat option for questions and lockers to store luggage. Great area with lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and retail. The bedroom had a sound machine and sleep mask in case street noise and light becomes an issue.

This is not a hotel, and I wonder how included with the list of hotels. The code to enter the building did not work and No employee at the property to help. I spent several hours on the street until another tenant came and open for me. The elevator was not working and I had to carry my luggage to the third floor. I had to leave the property 2 days early and of course I did not get any refunds..

The location is excellent, close to everything you need. The windows are highly effective at blocking out noise from the busy street. As advertised, there is no elevator and no stove, but the air fryer provided is very convenient. The space is clean and quiet, with a good shower and a comfortable bed. The hallway luggage lockers were a lifesaver. What could be improved: - A full-length mirror or one in the hallway would be beneficial. - Providing communal-size body lotion, similar to the shower products, would be appreciated. - A bottle of olive oil for use with the air fryer would be useful. - The decor is more bleak compared to other Sonder locations, such as in Montreal. - The bathroom could use better lighting and a close-up mirror for makeup. - A more functional bedside clock with a phone charger would be helpful. - The living room has enough space to accommodate a small workstation with a chair, which would be more practical than the high kitchen counter for remote work.

The room/unit we were in was above shake shack so you could here the music and noise from the restaurant. Location was great for us though it was Midway between fenway and Boston common in back bay. We took the free logan express bus to back bay and the room was 1 block away. Only $3 to go back to the airport.
