Wonderful

It was because it was a home away from home. I just think the company should inform the guest that their code for entry will not be active until exactly 4 pm and there is no lobby available if guest arrive early. Aside from that the entire experience and stay was the absolute best.

Amazing location and great space - felt like a secret getaway right in the heart of NOLA. Good instructions. Only thing we didn't like was that we had to download the app for Sonder - but not really a big deal.

Cute apartment in a great location
We loved the apartment. The location is great and we had no issues inside the building. It was kept very clean at all times. You could hear noise outside the window that faces canal street but with some $3 ear plugs from Walmart that issue was solved. We would definitely stay here again!

My group and I had a wonderful experience at Sonder in the French Quarter, NOLA. The building is located right on Canal St. with access to EVERYTHING! Our Lyft drivers could easily drive up to the building to pick us up, we were in walking distance of Bourbon st, the WW II measure (about 20 min walk), and restaurant /bars. The facility was nice and clean with everything we needed to feel at home.

or stay there was amazing. The place was clean, friendly close to everything. The parade was right outside our window getting in and out was easy. They made our first time in New Orleans. Very pleasant visit. We love it. We’ll go back. We’ll use them again and other states.

Great location and spacious accommodation. Had two bedrooms and was perfect for our group of three. They do misrepresent the 24/7 availability of their off-site people. We realised we needed a blanket at 7:30 pm after arrival. They will “chat” with you and plan to bring what is needed, but it won’t happen until the next day. That obviously didn’t keep us warm overnight. The 24/7 should be taken with a grain of salt. Otherwise, property is great.

Good value for a place like this on Canal street. Everything is great and it would be better if laundry bags, water and slippers are provided.

We called someone and asked for 3 face towels because it was only one in the entire room. And no one ever showed up with them. We had to go buy some.

Great pic, great location
Very comfortable Airy loft. Beds were very firm but I slept really we’ll honestly. You won’t escape all the noise of the French quarter as it’s basically situated right on the edge of bourbon street. But the noise was dull enough through the windows that it didn’t affect my sleep. Great people watching along canal street from the giant windows. Will for sure stay here again

We loved the apartment-style, finding it ideal for our family - 2 adults and 2 teenagers. One teen slept on the couch in the common area and the other slept in the 2nd bedroom. Location was ideal - just on the edge of everything we wanted to visit, and right next to the streetcar. We used the streetcar half of the time and just simply walked from the French Quarter back to the room the other half.
The space was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The only complaint my family had - and this wasn't big enough to drop the rating from 5 stars - is that there's very little water pressure in the shower.
