Cute loft in the heart of Alexandria
Great place for a solo or couple. The studio was very clean and very comfortable. The bed was great. I appreciated the community from the property prior to my arrival. Entrance to the unit was very easy. I will happily book here again.

Great stay, loved the room (301).The one thing I would suggest is replacing the full-length mirror near the kitchenette with a drop-down table and have a couple of small/folding chairs instead of the single large chair. That would make the space more workable of couples. Otherwise, awesome stay, would do it again!

Overall this was a nice hotel. We had a studio. The bathroom felt oddly conspicuous, just frosted glass walls separating that part of the room from the rest, but otherwise it was nice. It did feel a little disconcerting being fully self-service but we knew that was the arrangement when we reserved the room so I can't really complain about that. All in all, it was a very clean, adequate space at a good price. Would stay there again.

This Sonder location has a lot of work that needs to be done. Paint was chipping off the ceiling and the window seals. There were no hand or face towels. I had to go over to the Ross to purchase so faced so I can wash my face and body. The television streaming apps did not work. And because the building is so old the smell. There really needs to be some really deep cleaning done. And probably the worst of it all is that all of the linen were in totes Along the walls in the hallway. It was just not a well kept space. The perks however, are that the community is walkable. You can get good dining options and shopping options and it’s not far From a waterway that has other dining options, as well.

Be Prepared!
I thought that I had pre-registered my details on the Sonder app. I hadn't completed it fully before my arrival, as a condequence, I never received the email with access codes to get into the building and with no reception or staff on site that was an issue! I managed to resolve this after about an hour and was pleasantly surprised by the appartment, which was spacious and clean, perfect for a couple, however it would start to feel quite cosy for 4 adults. Great location for shops restuarants and bars. Would I stay there again - yes!

Cool little efficiency apartment on King Street.
This is a really fun location right on King street. Highly recommend. The room is like an efficiency apartment, very cool.
We just used the fridge but there is cookware and glass cups. It is a homey kind of feel. We used the dishes and used the sink for daily washing.
This apartment is right in the middle of a busy street. So it is pretty lively until after midnight. Just know that going in. I loved it, some may not.
OK Sonder the booking experience. I have read reddit reviews. This is a model where there is no front desk.
So, it is very critical that you read the check in e-mail very carefully. Do your check in as soon as you book your room. I cannot stress this enough.
check in requires uploads and verifications. Once complete you will get a conformation e-mail.
Two days prior to our visit we received our door codes.
For us everything went very smoothly.
Love the location, super fun town center. Very easy to the National Mall - 15 minutes MAX. We did 4 museums in 3 days and still had time to got out in the evening on King street.
Murphy Irish pub is basically right next door. Super fun with live music great Irish pub fare and super convienent.
I parked at 418 Cameron St - Tavern Sq. Overnight parking - $11 during the week, $5 on the weekend.

We liked the location, shopping, restaurants, public transportation. Kitchen area was great. Bathroom was a great size. Bathroom door was a slider but didn’t always stay shut.

We went during spring break. We had not stayed at a property like this before but we were pleasantly surprised. Check in was seamless. You could tell people were about but the halls and rooms were quiet. A white noise machine and earbuds were provided since it is in a busy area -- we didn't need them) When you step outside, King street is at your feet with loads of options. Kitchenette was great for snacks and light breakfast (we mostly made use of the mini fridge and glassware) Great location and value. Would book again.
