The Sonder apartment was a nice size and had new appliances, and a comfy bed. However, not long after we got settled, we saw that the unit was poorly kept, there were missing cabinet doors, no hangers, insufficient kitchen supplies, mold and cracked tiles in the bathroom. It took several visits to get enough hangers, plates and basic supplies, but then we realized the heat wasnt working. We had no heat for 4 full days and the temp in the apt never got above 60 degrees. Then our dishwasher just stopped working. So we had no working dishwasher and no sink stopper and had to wash dishes from a large pot bc there was no other way to have dishwater.
I called Sonder, and finally got the heating fixed, but the rest was never fixed and there was ZERO followup. I was told they would credit us for the days we had no heat, but that never happened. I called 3 more times and texted the "24/7" in the app, but no one from Sonder ever responded beyond 'someone will be in touch'
So, it was not a great first experience with Sonder. They are quick to respond with small requests (like soap) but getting a response for bigger issues (like no heat and broken appliances) was impossible.
I couldve overlooked the age and damage, but they got my money upfront and Sonder did nothing compensate our trouble.
