Close to restaurants, coffee shops, and retail

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 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.

Clean, secure, hip lcoation

Great location, right among shops and cafes on a hip street. Clean, large 1 bedroom apartment. As others have noted, it is super loud overnight with trucks loading nearby stores. They provide a sound machine but bring ear plugs!

Great location and wonderful unit

Sonder property is our new favorite. The unit was impressively clean. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Check in and check out were easy and efficient. We used their app to ask questions during our stay and got answers and help immediately. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

Very close to basic necessities and close to the station. Place was relatively clean. Would recommend. Just for other peolle looking at this place to stay the only downside is that there isnt any elevator. It was a good workout going up and down the stairs.

You really can’t beat the location right on Newbury St! The unit was in great condition, clean, spacious and nice decor. Just note it is a walk up so if you have super heavy suitcases you will need to carry them up at least one flight of stairs. Check-in and check-out process was super easy. Access is also really easy with the door code or using a mobile device key. Impressed with Sonder and will definitely consider for future accomodation!

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.

Amazing property. Although 4th floor walk up the unit was so large and comfortable with kitchen and a washer/dryer. The location was fantastic, walk right out the door and find lots of good places to eat, walk to Fenway Park, walk to Boston Common and Waterfront and even to TD Garden for Celtics basketball. Not a hotel so may take a little longer to get more towels or help but you get it soon enough. What a great vacation!

Well-equipped lovely apartment in great location

Great location on very upmarket shopping street. We walked to downtown and Fenway within 20 minutes. Copley T station was a block away and easy to use. Have seen some complaints about stairs but we were on the third floor and despite being relatively unfit 50-somethings we managed absolutely fine. Apartment had really good facilities- washer/dryer was very useful. Definitely would stay here again.
