Gorgeous brownstone next to Newbury. It is a bit loud in the area being on commonwealth ave, but the perfect walkable location. We loved our stay at sonder. The unit we were in was beautiful and we especially loved the gas fireplace. Would stay there again in a heartbeat .

This was my first time staying at a Sonder property. My husband and I were very pleased with the entire experience! The entire contactless experience was very easy and straightforward.

My remote key did not work, so I had to punch in the long code each time I went in. My room was clean, and the location was convenient and close to everything, so I would probably stay here again. However I was woken up at 7am to drilling, and construction noises that sounded like they were coming through the wall in my room, and my bed was even vibrating. Not to happy when I like to sleep in when I am on vacation.

The room was very clean, and had a nice view looking out to commonwealth ave. I was worried about parking, but was only there for a night so parked at the garage next to King's which was only a 4 minute walk. The check in was seamless and all communications overall were great!

Unbeatable location

The space was beautiful and the location couldn’t be beat. It’s an old building, though, so very drafty. There were some issues when I arrived (TV and electric kettle weren’t working), but they were resolved.

Location, location and location! The best location. The only cons were the hallway carpets were very dirty and the recycle/ trash trucks were coming every early morning to the alley to pick up the trash/ recyclables and it was so loud, even closed windows were not helping.
