We loved the perfect size of the apartment! The only complaint in the cleanliness area is the floor seemed to be tracked on and the shower was a walk-in without the door, and there was water damage on the baseboard. It was located on a quiet, beautiful street. Finally, the next guests tried to enter the apartment an hour before out checkout time, but the issue was solved without conflict

Great Stay

Visited Nashville for a friend's birthday and the group stayed in two units. Overall, our stay was great and the living space was comfortable and met all of our needs. If we visit Nashville in the future, we would choose to stay elsewhere only due to location. We prefer to walk to our destinations, but Soner 16th was not within walking distance of Broadway.

Perfect location to Belmont and downtown

Accessing the property and check in was confusing.The door code listed was incorrect. I had to call for help several times, but each time I was connected with a real person within a few minutes. Location was excellent. Accommodations were good. Kitchen very handy and well equipped. We had several meals in.

Cozy place within a good neighborhood

16 Sondar was in a great location, its own little neighborhood with restaurants and bars within walking distance. A short uber ride to Broadway. The apartment was very cozy. However there were a lot of ants in the bathroom and kitchen.

Recommended place to stay.

We definitely will reserve again. Without doing my research I didn’t see any way for wheelchair access. The only other thing is is the sander website isn’t helpful when maintenance is needed. There is one thing that needs Arthur I don’t know how to let them know.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Very spacious and clean and within walking distance to many great restaurants, including coffee, breakfast, burgers and beer. Let me tell you about the toilet flushing. We stayed in unit 3 and each time we flushed, it sounded like a rocket blasting off. Lol. But it worked! Great water pressure and hot water. Would stay here again.

The place was very clean. There is a bright porch light, though, that shines through and can disturb sleep if someone is sleeping on the pull-out couch (which we had). There were some closeby neighbors who were loud at around 2am, which I know isn’t the fault of the property owners, but that was a frustration. It would have been nice if the AC went lower, especially for sleeping. But the area was nice and the location was well-maintained.

Not great. We were happy with the amount of space but the property is really shabby and uncomfortable. Everything was falling apart and shabby. There was no washer and dryer.

Door keypad didn't work

Clean and comfortable but sparse in amenities. We paid extra to check in an hour early and it took 18 minutes with online chat to get in because the door code wouldn't work. I asked for a refund for that portion and still haven't heard back. We will see...

Massively disappointed. No laundry facility where there should’ve been. They supplied the detergent but the washing machine and dryer were missing. Had to go to a seedy part of town to do our washing. No phone number to contact them anywhere on their site. Just directed to an FAQ page. Air conditioning worked when it wanted to so we were cooking until it decided to come on. Couldn’t set the temperature. Good part of town though.

On arrival it was obvious the floor in the property was damaged. There was visible water damage in many places and areas that had been patch repaired. As soon as the shower was turned on we knew why - water poured across the bathroom floor, under the door and out into the hallway. The flooding in the bathroom was longstanding and the floor in the hallway was rotten. You could feel it moving underfoot. Very dangerous and poor accommodation. We asked to be moved. Although we were moved by Sonder, it took a whole day of our 3 day trip to resolve and they weren't even slightly interested in helping. Definitely wouldn't recommend this property or Sonder to anyone.

The property was very clean, safe, and nice. The AC/heater unit was a little noisy ( like maybe something needs to be fixed?) You can hear other guests very clearly, but other than that, the place is very nice. Loved having a kitchen and living room. Made the stay very comfortable.

For the very low nightly price, this is a full fledged 1 BR apt. For a regular traveler this is a great deal ! Place was immaculate and well furnished for a relatively long stay. Didn't realize it was pay to park but street parking was free and convenient. Would have been nice not additionally having to navigate the Sonder app to get the entry code (why not just send in secure email). Highly recommend this place as it's walking distance to music row!

Nightmare

Guest beware! Customer service was all time low. They sent my confirmation code to an email that I didn’t give and that does not exist. When I called to sort out the reservation they didn’t have any such reservation although I was clearly charged. The person I spoke to on the phone was very unhelpful. Had to make alternative accommodation arrangements! Hopefully getting a refund is not as difficult and unpleasant as this experience was.

Nice spot

Great stay, decent neighborhood. As others have mentioned, the shower leaks water into the floor which is quite annoying. Sorry, the queen sized bed mattress is in need of replacement as it has a bit of a dip on one side. The unit comes with everything you need, including bedding for the pull out couch. Kitchen was very convenient.
