    Bed was a tad small and noise from the street was high.

    Whilst not for everyone I liked the “app experience” to check in. Location was superb. Having a kitchen was nice. Supermarket and 7-11 around the corner.

    The place I stayed at should have been cleaner and better maintained. There were visible signs of neglect, such as areas held together with duct tape and patches of rust.

    Some fixtures need attention ie towel rail in bathroom, orange stain on bedroom floor by window, cup shelves bit wobbly, curtains don’t close fully. Air con not working on arrival.

    Location fantastic- very convenient for Metro and major sites. Room spacious, bed very comfortable. Very good value for money. Super clean.

    Digital Check-in process was not so easy, did not work, had to email and call but staff was friendly and rather efficient. Also we had to enter the code several times in the key pad at entrance and at the lift before it worked I advise strongly: 1) Take your time before arrival to do the check in (don't do it last minute, and for non US resident with mobile phone roaming costs: make sure you have wifi or data package to be able to check in and call the staff in case of issue) 2) Download the Sonder Quincy app and set up the Mobile Key App before arrival: the keypad was not working well. Noise: A problem with the room is that it had a plain door that joined with a neighboring room. The door had no sealing and no soundproofing. We could perfectly hear our neighbor's phone conversations. After she spoke loudly for a while and it was late, we decided to ask her to be more silent. She complied. We, too, had to be careful to be silent. There was also occasional noise from the corridor but we were lucky to stay at an end. Overall door soundproofing should be improved. But no noise from outside.

    Spacious room, large bed, Location 20'-30'-40' on foot from Washington DC Museum zone, very close to metro station West Faregut which is on Silver line, direct line to/from Dulles airport), Kitchen well equipped (with kettle, toaster, sugar, salt, pepper, kitchen towel, sponge, dishwasher soap, enough plates and mugs, good basic cooking tools, etc...) Clean, After 1st entry digital check in and physical keypad problems (see below), entrance was easy with the Mobile Key App Rather efficient digital/phone staff support Good value for money because of location and comfort Washington DC luggage storage offers both alternative: - a large room at the entrance lobby to use with building code (keep it as Mobile key App is not available anymore after check out) - several lockers at the entrance lobby too to use with own code (Note: Sonder also gives you discount on some external luggage storage company but it is closed... on Sundays...) In general, I was anxious because of some of the Booking negative reviews, some proved to be wrong (Luggage storage and kitchen equipment better than expected) and some proved to be right (Check in process, see my advise below, and incidental noise from inside) There is no staff but a lot of info in the Silver / Quincy App (which is where the Mobile Key is): like where to get additional towels in the building etc... Also in the morning there is the cleaning staff (don't forget to tip her/him :-)) you can ask.

    You have to introduce a code 3 times to enter your room ( at entrance, in elevator, at your room). And the code box is not a user friendly one. Wasting of time.

    It has a good location and spacious room.

    Gaining access to the property was difficult at times as the access code didn’t always work. Also unlike our friends’ bathroom ours was missing shelves (they had been removed) so there was nowhere to store our toiletries. We were in room 409.

    The location. It wasn’t too far to The White House and there is a subway station a short walk away. The property was clean and well maintained with access to extra towels etc if you needed them.

    The interior is dated, the bed fine but not comfortable for me, using the pin is well and good but the numbers are fading on outside keypad

    Sonder Quincy is in a great location, a quiet area with cafes nearby as well as the Metro. The facilities are fine and perfect for what you need. The wifi is excellent.

    The property is great, but for my taste a little too much noise.

    The room was spacious with a nice kitchenette, a bathroom and space for clothes. The kitchen is well equipped for a short stay. There are several washing machines and dryers in the building. The bed was really comfortable.

    The room decor is a bit spartan (aside from the kitchen side), the table a bit small. Would be nice to have a comfy sofa. TV seems to not have any free to view channels (I couldn't find CNN or BBC or a free movie channel).

    Excellent location. Very spacious room. Well kitted out with cooking utensils. Efficient. Bed was nice and firm and good bedding. Temperature of room nice. Liked being given a white noise machine and ear-plugs. Coffee and teas all very nice. I had read some really bad reviews and was fearful that it was going to be awful but it was actually really good!
