We stayed in a 3-bedroom apartment with a deck... the room itself was WONDERFUL! Super clean, great layout, excellent amenities, nice furniture.The staff was also VERY responsive when we ran into issues with the air conditioning... for two nights the downstairs air con didn't work properly during a 27-degree heat wave in London. THe downstairs (including 2 bedrooms) was very hot. They did get maintenance in pretty rapidly to fix it, the next morning, but it still didn't work in one of the bedrooms that night.If the air con works well-- this is a GREAT place to stay.

The location and the apartment itself we liked Few things were not good. When we entered the apartment, the broken front of the shelve was lying in the kitchen. There were dirty knives in the knife rack. We asked for a wooden or silicone kitchen spatula, but no one brought it for 4 days. I bought it myself and left it in the apartment. Everything else was nice, the location, the apartment was clean and newly renovated.

My experience wasn’t that great a had a challenge to get the pass code after many emails the only way to solve the issue is keep trying through the app 😔.On arrival we didn’t find the iron and the toilet chair was broken I emailed the but no response unfortunately. Finally the room was on the basement floor and it wasn’t clear when I booked you can hear cars and people on the street the place is not value for money with the same amount you can get a 5 star hotel

Overall great place!! Location was super convenient and felt very safe. Lots of options for spreading out and storing clothing! Only problems were a few doors did not latch and ac was a little spotty. Sonder contacted me to let me know that maintenance was stopping by to work on ac so very proactive. That being said I highly recommend this location and would definitely stay there again.

My stay was so much better than expected. I was a bit worried when I read the online reviews on Sonder. But this Sonder specifically was great. It was as clean as a five star hotel. There was a concierge in the building and the application had all the information I needed. I’m definitely considering coming back to this place. The neighbourhood is also very quiet and elegant.

This place couldn’t have been more perfect. We stayed in a 3 bedroom with terrace. The view of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Parliament Buildings was fantastic.Staff was very helpful and our stay was exceptional.

The room is well located and we were happy as we walked in. Unfortunately the hot water went out after day one. Once that was repaired after 10 icy showers, we received a modest credit.Unfortunately on day 7 our air conditioning went out and we returned to a room at a sweltering 27-28C or 81-83F. Their service people could not come out tonight and we are left sweating until the sun goes down. Luckily it will likely be cool enough to sleep tonight
