This is a perfect location to walk around downtown, have dining options at walking distance. Everything was perfect for my family trip. The only issue is the noise its close to walgreens that gets deliveries at like 5am and the noise is so bad it wakes you up.

Great location but awkward setup

Great location and convenient check in/out. Plenty of space but thin walls. A full length mirror anywhere would have been nice, and the couch is terrible. Very awkward and uncomfortable. But overall a good stay

The apartment is very small, smelled like weed and had a clogged sink in one of the bathrooms. I called to see if they would fix it and did not get a response. With only 2 bathrooms and 5 women this was a problem. The unit had a wash machine but no dryer. There were not have enough towels or wash cloths in the unit.

Disappointed

Apartment needs touch up paint and holes need to filled. Burnt holes in couch. Refrigerator door sounds like it’s going to fall off. Toilet is not attached to the wall. The A/C did not work and we literally melted. Had to leave windows open at night to circulate air and gotten eaten alive by bugs.

Un lugar lindo para hospedarse, acogedor, amplio, con todas las comodidades, hicieron nuestra estancia de 9 días espectacular, excelente sector, lo recomiendo totalmente. Mi única queja es que no estubo bien limpio y las toallas de baño tenían mal olor. Pero en general volvería sin dudarlo.

A couple of important issues that we had with this apartment. Firstly, the roller shades in the primary bedroom have massive gaps between the shade and the window frame. With a south facing unit, it got so bright at 5am. The other bedroom has semi-open concept with the living room, so plenty of light in there as well. That secondary bedroom also has a a/c vent that blasts right over the headboard, blowing very strong air right on your face. Lastly, there were no cups in cupboards. Not a single one.

Great stay overall! The location was perfect—close to everything with plenty of nearby parking options. Check-in was smooth and easy. The unit had tall ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, which made the space feel bright and open. Contrary to some other reviews, we didn’t find the walls thin. It was a bit noisy, but that’s just city life. We stayed in a 3-bedroom unit that fit 5 adults, 2 kids, and a baby comfortably. We requested a crib and received it the next day, which was great. The bedrooms were a bit tight, and the beds were definitely full size—not queens. The mattresses were uncomfortable, and most of us woke up with sore backs each morning. A small vacuum instead of just a broom would’ve been a nice touch, but that’s just being picky. Customer service was excellent—super responsive and helpful. Despite a few minor things, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider Sonder again.

We loved the location in River North with shops around plenty of nice restaurants. Walkable and good buses around. Apartment was very nice, we were 5 adults. A bit noisy because of bar nearby ( it depends of your tolerance to noise. Some of us were disturbed some heard nothing). We enjoyed our stay !
