I was surprised at how dated the room was. Everything was functional, the AC, TV, fridge, and microwave all worked fine, but the furniture was very cheap looking and old-fashioned, and the flooring was not very nice either. The bathtub had a crack in it that let water through, so you can’t use it for a bath only a shower. The sink was in the room instead of the bathroom, and the drawers on that were broken. The bed was pretty comfortable, aside from the pillows, which were too bulky. The ceiling tiles looked old and some had apparent water damage. It wasn’t a bad stay, just not what I was expecting for how much we paid..

I loved the location of this property, the layout and size. It was a beautiful stay overall! What I didn't love was the bathroom switches. There was only one, and it was way too bright. Would have been nice to have two switches, one that was not too bright. I also didn't like it's location only from entering from kitchen. No switch from bedroom. Wasn't able to operate the tv. Seems like an old fashion turn on would have been better than not being able to get anything to show.

Great location, tired apartment
Maybe we got unlucky but our apartment wasn’t great. It was extremely dusty when we arrived and they have compensated us as well as sending in cleaners however when we got back after the cleaners the bathrooms hadn’t been dusted. They are well furnished apartments but the decor is very tired with mould and paint peeling off the walls.

The good: great location, easy parking, comfortable bed. The bad: gym access required 2 phone calls to Sonde and some of the gym equipment didn’t work, apartment tired and needing renovation, view of a parking lot, noisy neighbor upstairs. The ugly: apartment was superficially clean but grime and dirt everywhere - bathroom, bedroom, kitchen. Dirty cutlery. The whole place smelt damp and musty on arrival. Sonder customer service really poor. Stay elsewhere.

Comfortable, spacious apartment in a great location.Even though the complex is located on Congress Ave, the apartment complex is peaceful and quiet. Plates, silverware and basic kitchen items are provided. We did have to buy vegetable oil to do some light cooking. Spacious balcony, big bedrooms, sleeper couch. Pool area has a hot tub which we enjoyed. 10/10 recommend

Excellent location on South Congress, quiet and large appartment with a nice view. Only thing to improve is the check-in process that Sonder requires you to go through - it is buggy and inconvenient.

Let me preface this by saying I have never left a negative review, ever. However, I booked at Sonder South Congress on purpose - to be within a very close proximity of an early morning business meeting during my stay. Mid-afternoon the day I was checking in for my trip, I was randomly texted and told I’d been moved to the East Austin property, which is not nearly as convenient as South Congress. In fact, I specifically chose South Congress for the convenient parking. East Austin is a nightmare. The unit smelled, the bathroom was barely clean. The silverware drawer would barely open. The upstairs neighbors were extremely loud. The front door of the Residences of Plaza Saltillo was not secure when I arrived - no key code necessary. The complex elevator sounded like nothing I’ve ever heard before, based on the sounds, someone’s going to get stuck in at some point. I was graciously provided a complementary parking pass which was logistically horrible; especially, with the added travel time I had to account for to be on time for my early meeting due to the last minute property change. After I returned the pass to the unit and moved my car, I STILL had to pay $35 just to leave the parking garage. I will likely never stay with Sonder again after this experience.

There were 17 steep steps to go down in the apartment. We thought "ground floor" would mean no stairs. Husband handicapped & uses a cane. It was a challenge for us. The apartment was very nice, near lots of night life to walk to. Parking garage was great. Everything tech - driven: gates, door, tv & more. Kind of cool!

Great spot right it the heart of Austin's South Congress District. East walk to all of the clubs, restaurants and shopping. Nicely furnished and comfortable. The only thing we did not like was that Sonder has no on site employees. We got back to our apartment and there was a malfunction on the electronic door lock so we could not get in. We had to rely on a phone call to Sonder to solve our problem. The customer service rep couldn't immediately solve it but called back with a solution for us in 10 or 15 minutes. In the meantime we were waiting in a hallway wondering if we were going to be able to get back into our room.

Location was fantastic . Restaurants, shopping and downtown all walkable. The apartment was spacious & styled very well. Coffee, tea and toiletries provided a nice touch . Beds were extremely firm/uncomfortable and late night street noise was a bit challenging for us . Noise machines and ear plugs were provided. Check in/check out was easy & efficient.

The unit I stayed in was on the ground floor. Aside from that, I wouldn’t necessarily say it was accessible fyi. Plenty of room. Downside of patio is that it is on the ground floor. You look at the parking lot in afternoon sun. The other downside was water pressure was non existent. If you have long hair, expect it to take 20 minutes to wash/get soap out etc. Aside from that, it was a good value for the cost. Space, walkable, clean.

Walls are thin, noise was a serious problem
It is not clear that there are few if no ramps to get heavy and multiple luggage into the apartment. It is also not clear that when you enter the apartment, there is another long set of stairs going downward that you have to carry all your belongings down. Also I was not told that there would be maintenance men coming into the space while I was there so it was a shock (as a single female) to get unexpected visitations during my stay. There were multiple cobwebs above the bed in the master bedroom. There was a leak in the guest bedroom in the vent which leaked all over my newly washed clothes that were hang drying. I had to deal with water stains on my linen. Then the neighbor above walked so incredibly heavy all morning, throughout the day and into the evening. I could barely sleep in or work whilst in the space. (I recorded the audio on this as proof and even the maintenance guys vouched that the pounding was excessive and intolerable). I should have been warned that the walls were thin - I would have booked a hotel/apt somewhere else all things considered (with fair warning). I will not be recommending or staying here again.

It should not be listed as a 3 bedroom space if it is actually only a 2 bedroom! Also, way too many check in instructions / requirements. Hard to find.
