Great amenities. Comfortable bed and loved having a little kitchenette space. Luggage storage lockers in the lobby were so helpful. My only complaint was some difficulty with the mobile entry on a couple of occasions.

Loved it!

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. The room had a lot of character and included all the essentials. I Wait, why are we being quick? would definitely recommend them!

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 .

It was exactly what my daughter and I needed for our stay in Boston while scouting colleges! The kitchenette, updated bathroom and comfy bed made a lovely place to return to after lots of campus walking. We appreciated the luggage lockers and used them before and after our stay. It was easy to get to public transportation or grab a car service, but it is also very walkable, even in the middle of February. The only (very minor) issues were the toilet paper holder kept falling apart and the coffee maker kept splattering grounds into the cup. But those aren’t enough to deter us from staying here again.
