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.

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.

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.
