Great Localtion but......
The property was 'cold', with few amenities. Every single wall was covered with large black marks, as if heavy furniture had been moved in and out and had scraped the walls. The corners is the bathroom were peeled and moldy next to the shower. Our bed sheets had a large tear in them. There was no central light in the primary bedroom. It was very unconformable and I would never stay in a Sonder property again. Certainly the worst rental I have EVER had and I've done many oft hem over the past few years.

While the unit was clean, the overall quality of the apartment was so-so and very much overpriced.

Great for family
The layout of the apartment was great for my husband and I, along with our 1.5 year old. She was able to run around and the kitchen was perfect. Very clean!

Good for short stay in Philly
Overall, a good location for what our family needed – about halfway between U Penn and the historical sites. Parking is very expensive in the area. A few small issues with our unit on the 8th floor - floorboards in the entryway and hallway were loose and not connected/installed properly, small leak under the kitchen sink, and dryer took forever to dry clothes (sensor seemed to be broken so it would only work properly on timed dry and still took a long time). Also, as others have mentioned, there is a bar (Level Up) that can get quite loud at night. We had requested to be on a higher floor so that helped a bit with noise. The air conditioner/heat/unit fan is quite loud and worked to block out the street noise (along with the provided white noise machines). We loved having two bathrooms and a washer and dryer in unit. The beds were fairly comfortable. The curtains in the bedrooms were dark and kept most light out (not as much in the living room for the sleep sofa though). Plenty of glasses and dishes in the kitchen. Not many places to sit and eat though. But we were only there for two nights so we made it work. Overall, we’d stay here again if we were in town for a short stay.
