a/c or lack of
the thermometer or a/c did not work. the hallway to the whole floor was hotter than outside. i turned the a/c down multiple times it never got lower than 80 degrees. there is no front desk and only way to contact anybody is through a chat via text message with the customer service. they were not helpful at all and said they could send a service person at 9am when the check out is 11am. i am going to seek a refund or do a charge back if i have to.

The building was nice and clean. However, they lost power the day I got there. It happens. But the AC did not work and it was 100 everyday. The pool wasn’t even open. Very disappointed

I’ve never had an experience like this. At first it was very uneasy, I didn’t like that everything was by e-mail or text. I was completely lost, luckily a resident helped me out than I had it. It can be unsafe to just ask a total stranger and get an an elevator, lost. One thing I did not like.

The loft-style apartment receives direct sunlight during the day through floor-to-ceiling windows covered with massive curtains, which is excellent! As a night person who can only sleep in a dark room and wakes up once to feel the sunlight, I found out that one of the curtains was broken the second day. I report the incident. Despite conforming to the robot chat help desk response, the curtain was neither fixed nor was I informed nor offered another room/option for the rest of my stay. A long-term homelike loft apartment idea is great, but the application needs to improve, including property and garage access protocols.

Not a whole lot of places to walk to for suplies. The room itself was nice but a big part of why I choose this place was for the pool which was closed when I was there for maintenance, a thing I wasnt made aware of until I went up to use the pool, and then recieved an email about hours after i had already checked out.

This was a spacious, quiet condo. Located in a great location. The amenities were amazing. I would have liked cable tv, but understand why it wasn’t an option. The furniture was okay, just not all that comfortable. The interactions with other people in the building was positive. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

Our stay was good except the fact that the AC would not get below 80 degrees in AZ in the middle of summer. We reached out to Sonder and they said they would fix it but it did not stay cool in the apartment.
