The good: The two bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor was perfect for our stay - in a busy location on the edge of the Quarter, on Canal. Walking distance to everything we needed, and a bodega downstairs for essentials. The A/C was crisp, and the full kitchen was great! The luggage storage came in handy - as was the option to check in early and out late for a small fee that was worth it! The cost of the apartment was very reasonable and we felt it was a good value! What wasn’t great: Sadly, a few things like late into the night volume and early morning dumpster noise interrupting sleep every single day at 5am was a big downside. Noise is to be expected, especially in a city like NOLA, but soundproofing is needed. As other reviews stated, the warm water took a long time to heat up - thankfully in July we didn’t miss it too much - but the broken elevator on day one was also a let down as we had to haul our things up the long staircases. A few times the code for the door didn’t work, and we had to wait to be let in. And lastly, the chicken shop downstairs was cleaning their grills and the smoke set off the fire alarm at 7am, which meant the entire building had to evacuate until the fire department came. There are a lot of great things about this property, but we definitely left feeling exhausted. I’d consider booking again in an off-peak time, or perhaps on a higher floor.

This was our first time in New Orleans.  This was located within walking distance of many attractions. Nice place and fair price.

An overall good experience.  The unit was spacious.  I loved the large windows and the location was extremely convenient.  What I found to be annoying was the television does not have cable or local channels.  I spent a long time trying to program the television before calling to learn that I would have to "cast" streaming from my phone.  Also, I was slightly annoyed because the water pressure was weak and the water was not as hot as I would like.  But knowing these things, I would stay at this hotel again.

Our stay at Sonder was very nice. We love the accommodations that we had. The location was perfect and in the middle of everything, the rooms were clean and spacious and the free lockers were just what we needed to move around the city freely before check in and after check out. I also love the security and ease of getting in and out of the building. So helpful. We had a couple of hiccups on our trip. The elevator was down and we stayed on the 4th floor. With it being so hot out that wasn’t the most pleasant experience. We also wanted to have a movie night but we didn’t have the right connections on the tv to use Netflix or other smart apps. Next time it would be helpful to mention that in the package. Lastly, towels, we ran out by day 3 , maybe providing enough for each day/night or laundry detergent would be helpful.

Enjoyed our stay

Very nice apartment, elevator went down twice but we expected it with the prior reviews being kept in mind. Otherwise it was fantastic!!

The Vitascope was a great stay! Apartment style property with plenty of room. Location was perfect, close to attractions, restaurants, etc. Downfall - SOUND! Older building, corner unit, quite loud. Not so much street traffic but the side street is an alley way with  multiple dumpsters for businesses. Early morning cleanup with loud trucks banging. Might also consider an eye mask, blinds are not black out.

Awesome property. Well maintained and overall great place to stay. Only negatives were that the rooms at night never seemed to cool off for us no matter how early in the evening we adjusted the air down. Common areas got really cold, but the rooms not quite so much. Oh. And the beds were a bit hard for our liking.

The place is very nice and clean. Here are the cons. I was upset to find out that the elevator is hidden in the back hallway behind a doorway that is not labeled so I walked up and down 4 flights of stairs until I was on the 4th floor one time and head the elevator ring and it’s when I found it.  The body wash dispenser in the master bathroom was not working. The AC is super loud and makes it difficult to sleep.  The last bedrooms with the windows was always warm even though the rest of the apartment was cold. The TV does not have any channel available. Only a screen saver with pictures. Finally, the hotel should advise that there is not way to park and unload in front or on the side of the building. The only parking lots are at least 1.5 blocks away and due to street work, it was a nightmare.

Cool place but needed more details

Took over 40 minutes to check in over the phone.  Sonder needs all kinds on verification information in advance.  No one available on site.  Broken elevator required us to lug our bags and stuff up and down four flights of stairs.  No person or front desk to speak with.  We were unable to extend our check out time.  We were unable to obtain WiFi password.  No privacy lock on door.  Housekeeping promptly poked in at 11 and continued to do so twice after we explained we were in process of leaving.  Room was nice and clean, beds comfortable.
