Beautiful condo with gorgeous views and close to everything. Beds and bedding were comfy with an ample supply of quality pillows. Only thing I thought I was booking a king and 2 queens but this condo has 2 kings.

Stay Here! It is amazing
Amazing modern property on Lady bird Lake. You can literally walk outside to South Congress and see the bats, walk around the train, walk up S. Congress to shops and clubs, walk downtown. They have a coffee station you can use downstairs . Our unit had an amazing view of Downtown. The apartment was large and had 2 balconies and the bedrooms were not connected. I would stay here again. They also had free garage parking. The beds were comfortable. They only thing that was strange were the huge bathtubs. They were hard to get in and out of and did not have grab bars. It could be dangerous for an older or very short person.

Nice clean property. Poor communication on Sonder’s end. No TV for the whole stay. Remote for TV didn’t work, other than that great place to stay.

Overall stay was above my expectations. Entering the complex took a bit of time for the front desk to answer the call but after that everything was smooth sailing. The unit was clean and spacious. The instructions for the elevator and access to the unit was descriptive and easily understandable. I enjoyed my visit and look forward to my next trip back.

Nice property, great location; Sonder-managed
This is a Sonder managed property, which requires you to download their app in order to check in and receive details. All is online thru the app and messaging. Before booking, you should educate yourself about how Sonder works. Property pro’s: 1. Great location 2. Free parking for one vehicle (follow rules, otherwise be towed). 3. Beautiful property with nice sky deck with bar, swimming pool, gym. 4. Studio was nice set up for overnight stay. 5. Balcony for our unit. 6. Bed mattress comfortable. Con’s: 1. Our place was over the Aussie’s bar, which was extremely loud until 11pm. It was quiet after that, but if you need sleep, it’s not great. 2. Only two towels and nothing more, no bath mat. Almost did a split coming out of shower. 3. Didn’t seem as clean, lots of dust bunnies, counter/table smudges. 4. Only 1 elevator was working so we had to go up to eventually go down. 5. Would have preferred a view, you don’t know exactly what you are getting.

Best place to stay in Austin
The property was convenient to everything in downtown Austin and South Congress. We walked to concerts at Moody Theater & Amphitheater. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The free parking in property garage was a bonus! We have already recommend it to friends.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself was nice, great location and parking. Unfortunately, the pull out bed was unusable as springs were missing, the mattress slanted downward and it was structurally unsound. The mattress cover was dirty as well. We had to use the actual sofa to sleep. The ceiling fan in the bedroom knocked and was very noisy. Not a great night's sleep.
