It was nice having an apartment to move around in, rather than just a hotel room. Good closet space. I didn't use the kitchen except a couple of dishes for food brought in. The bed was comfortable. I didn't like the shower. The showerhead was not good. And the apartment was noisy because the bedroom backed the train tracks which were one block away. There was an empty lot right behind us so there was little to block the noise.

The Joys of Philly’s Frankford Avenue & Fishtown
Sonder’s Frankford Ave. location in Fishtown is right in the midst of a plethora of fab eating establishments and a record store four storefronts down the block; walking south on Frankford Ave. after three minutes you reach a cool rock club (Johnny Brendas) and then another three minutes away you come upon an entertainment complex which includes The Fillmore, a twenty-five hundred capacity music venue, that was very cool. We went to see The The last night and they were great! Oh … let me also mention a very spacious and yummy coffee/tea/egg sandwich spot … Gryphon Cafe right around the corner from Frankford Ave. and West Jefferson Street on North Broad Street. So much to do … all within walking distance.

Great to have an apartment at a hotel price. I could get up early and make coffee while letting my wife sleep. I also loved having the ability to cook. Very convenient to the EL and neighborhood bars and restaurants. The only thing I did not like was the weird TV setup of only Chromecast, never could figure it out.

When I booked from Expedia I did not realize it wasn’t a traditional hotel with a reception desk and staff upon checking in. I had recently downloaded expedia and had no idea it was using a private relay automated code email that wasn’t my personal email address. The hotel is contactless access which sends a link via email upon booking, which I didn’t receive due to the automated private relay email that Expedia generates. This created an issue for me I had to call customer service to get the link sent to my phone number. Luckily there was a really cool bar on the corner that let me sit while I sorted this out. It was stressful as my phone was about to die. Once I completed the identity verification, download the Sonder app got my access codes and could finally get into the unit. The unit was very nice very clean, comfortable bed and full apartment amenities. My favorite part was the private balcony which. I enjoyed some food I had bought across the street. The hotel is located in a really cool part of town you will not run out of things to do. There’s unique bars, restaurants and attractions everywhere. Philadelphia is a really special place and this spot taps into that in a memorable way. The rooftop lounge is very breathtaking at night. Amazing view of the downtown skyline. There’s noise from the street all night but that didn’t bother me, I grew up in a big city and you can’t expect a party city to turn off at night. Nothing crazy just some drunken laughs and yelling

I thought the apartment was very clean and spacious for three guests. Parking wasn't terrible, after driving around a few times I was able to get a spot on the street. Philly is a tough city to find parking, not really the Sonders fault. My only issue when staying was the key code. Have to input it multiple times to gain entry into the apartment. That was a little frustrating when we first got there since everything is through the app and there isn't a "front desk" to go visit. Tried six different times before it finally went through. Other than that, location was nice, plenty of restaurants and shops in walking distance. We actually chose this location because we were going to a concert at the Fillmore and were able to walk there and back after the show.

We enjoyed our stay here. Instructions were clear and everything was clean and in order. Everything was great but I’d say the only negative is limited parking and construction.
