Sonder at Viewpoint
I’ve been a fan of Sonder for years, and while I had a disappointing experience last year, I decided to give them another chance—especially since their reputation precedes them. This time around, they absolutely redeemed themselves. The unit was beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed. All three beds were comfortable, with a great variety of pillow options to suit different preferences. The high ceilings added an airy, spacious feel to what’s otherwise a narrow layout—making the rooms feel much larger than they are. The bedrooms were generous in size, and the kitchen was fully stocked with tea, salt and pepper, glassware, a complete set of dishes, utensils, cookware, and brand-new cleaning supplies. Cooking on the stainless steel gas stove was a breeze. Pro tip: use the ceiling fan—the smoke detectors are quite sensitive. The shared patio fits four people comfortably and offers a nice spot to unwind. There are several flights of stairs (no elevator), but even with a foot injury, I managed fine—though I wouldn’t recommend this for elderly guests. The location on Magazine Street is fantastic—full of charming shops, local eateries, and cozy bars. It’s easy to wander in and out of places, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy the neighborhood vibe. Nearby, you’ll find a Walgreens, Whole Foods, and a peaceful park—all within walking distance. Overall, my stay was comfortable, clean, convenient, and truly restful. I’m already planning my return visit. Sonder continues to deliver, and I remain a loyal fan. 💛
