good space for 2 adults, very clean, high end finishes and furniture, full kitchen appliances. Especially, liked the rooftop patio where we ate our made dinners and enjoyed the Philidelphia downtown skyline.

Very nice stay at the Sonder Ovation! It was clean and in a safe neighborhood with lots of amenities.
I am still here so hopefully I still feel the same when I leave but this place is beautiful. Rooftop amazing. I found all day parking a few steps from the building and it’s close to all things downtown. I am a Philadelphian and got this place just as a little getaway. I’ll definitely be back next month!
The apartment was very clean and just right for what we were needing/wanting. It seemed to be fairly in the middle of all the sights that we captured while in Philly. Since it was on a major road (not a side rode in the city), it was pretty load with car honking etc. I noticed other Sonder properties that seemed to be in quieter neighborhoods that I would likely look into if we returned.

Great apartment in a great area! We will definitely rebook when we come back to Philadelphia!
It was within blocks of the event we came to visit. Parking was not provided but we found it on the street right outside the door and we were fine all weekend. There are many restaurants in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our daughter’s graduation from Pennsylvania College of Optometry. Sonder was in walking distance to the ceremony venue as well as the restaurant we celebrated at afterwards. The clean, comfortable & up to date apt style made the perfect setting for a quick brunch for a small gathering of family before the ceremony. It also had great views of the city! We loved it!

Our family stayed here after 7 nights of camping. The showers had excellent water pressure, and we loved being able to do our laundry in our unit. We walked to the Liberty Bell and Geno's for cheesesteaks. Parking in the garage near Target was easy, and we left our car for two days and used public transportation. Unit was very clean and very comfortable. We did have an issue was a neighbor yelling and pounding on a door, and the property manager came and checked on us and solved their issue. The Sonder app is awesome, and we loved being able to unlock the door with our phone. Finally, you can get great skyline pictures from the rooftop.
Our hotel was very nice and spacious. The noise is a bit much. The room could use some updates and had minor cosmetic issues but overall it was pretty good. Beware that the closest parking garage was $30 a day!!
