Alexandria is our favorite city away from home! This location is perfect because it’s very central to both ends of king. Only one block from Misha’s coffee.

Why am I being asked to review when I cancelled the reservation? I’m sure the place is lovely, but I’m having surgery and couldn’t make the trip! I have no idea what the place is like, Sonder was great and answered all my questions and handled the cancellation. Why is VRBO asking for a review?

There was mold gray/black on the walls and in the AC unit outside of the mold. The company finally responded after 24 hours on our last night My wife is pregnant wanted to move us to a location that was almost 2 mi away. We were on King Street for a reason everything was in walking distance for her she cannot walk far. Haven't heard anything from the company yet about getting a refund. I would be very careful about staying with them. Take pictures of everything I did.

Stayed a few days to see DC. Great location right in the center of King Street, by lots of great restaurants and shops. Access to free King Street trolley and the DASH bus which helped getting to the metro to head into DC. Easy check in through the app. Assistance responsive via the Sonder app chat. Space was clean, only issue was the sink disposal smells (we didn’t even use kitchenette), so that needs to be cleaned but everything else was very clean and nice. Had a safe and enjoyable stay!

My boyfriend and I spent an extended weekend staying at this studio which couldn’t have been in a better location. This property is in a prime spot for dining and cocktails with plenty of establishments to choose from. Parking is utilizing locally garages that came as an inconvenience and the key pad used to enter the building wasn’t always user friendly, you have to applied some force for the numbers to take (#2 especially). The kitchenette came in handy but the TV only works through streaming off your mobile device which I thought was odd. Overall, the location was the reason for us choosing this property.

The check in was nice and easy. There was a greeter to meet us at the door a very nice gentleman that welcomed us!! The room was very nice and cozy. The bathroom was amazing with the heated floors and big walk-in shower!! the only complaint is the bed and furniture was very low to the floor but the bed was very comfortable!! This was a wonderful place to stay and when we come back to Alexandria Virginia we will stay here again!! Sonder has won my business. Oh driver beware the Alfred parking garage is terrible and does not have set hours I suggest finding another garage if in the area.

The surrounding area was quaint and lovely. The room was not as clean as presented through the pictures and there was paint peeling from the shower and windows didn't close all the way. I would not stay again.

Love the location, the kitchen and bedding. Overall I would go back again if they would fix the bathroom faucet to provide hot water and if the TV actually got channels. So far I have not heard anything back from Sonder on these two issues.

Everything was great with the exception of the quirky key pad at the front door. After major issues with the key pad accepting my code on day one, I thought all was fixed after speaking with someone. However, on multiple, occasions I had to punch in the code many times to open the door. Whether standing out in the rain, or late night. It was unsettling to say the least. Outside of that, the place was perfect.

Property is located directly in Olde Town Alexandria with restaurants, shopping,
and everything you need within walking distance. We rented this Sonder through Vrbo for a sweet little extended getaway and it worked out well. Everything was as advertised and the property owner was very responsive.
Only issue I had was with that water pressure in the bathroom area was low. This wasn't a deal breaker for me and the property owner responded but I just wasn't available to be there for them to resolve it since I was trying to maximize my weekend. Had a great time, would stay here again!!

Stayed here for long weekend. It’s a perfect location for exploring old town. I loved the ease of check in process and fact I didn’t have to keep track of a key or card. Room was clean and as advertised. I’d return in a heart beat.

I had such a wonderful time in Old Alexandria and at the VRBO/Sonder studio room that sits right in the action of King Street! I just wish the room had a small table and chair, but I guess you can’t have everything😬!

It was very nice but would have been nice to have a small table and chairs to eat

This So see is in a great location. We walked to great places to eat and drink. We enjoyed the close proximity to Mount Vernon by car. The free King Street trolley was a plus. If traveling with a car, we found an overnight garage right around the corner for $25/day.

Nice kitchen. I stayed a week and had half my meals prepared in the unit. I am 80 years old and did not find it amusing to either sit I
On the floor or eat dinner in bed. A small table should have been supplied. Many of your pictures show tables at different locations.

Beware the noise!
This property was in a great location..close to many shops and restaurants. It was also about a 10 minute walk to both the river front and the metro. It was clean and well stocked.
We had 2 issues. 1st was the noise! The unit we stayed in fronted King Street and the noise was out of control! Loud cars and semis delivering food to local restaurants as well as people partying! The owners know it is an issue since they supply ear buds and a note by the bedside to use them for noise! We did not sleep well the entire week. It was horrid! So be careful if you book the units which face King Street. (I would put the unit numbers but VRBO flagged this entry and made me take out the unit numbers).
The other was the air conditioning. Whoever stayed prior to us froze the unit. We were not able to get it addressed until the next day. They came in and set up a stand alone unit. It didn’t fit in the window so they put cardboard around the opening and used masking tape to hold it all in place. On top of that, the unit would only run for about 20 minutes and the pan would fill with water and the unit would turn off. We would then have to wheel it to the shower to empty the pan. This kept us up all the next night as the temps in the room reached 80 degrees. Finally the day after they fixed the air. But for 2 days we suffered! We asked to be moved but they said they were fully booked.
Also, there is no property manager on site. You contact Sonder either through the app or through a phone call.
We will never rent from Sonder again!!! We feel we should have been compensated two nights since we had no ac. And…there should be some type of warning that the noise level is extreme for the rooms that face King Street.
Beware!

Super clean easy access to King Street metro station. Alexandria provides a free trolley from the one mile long King Street to the King Street metro station. Sonder is located in the middle of King Street with a plethora of shops and restaurants. Our room was super clean, had a kitchen equipped with everything to cook a meal. The bathroom floor is even heated! No hassle check in and check out. All of this a BIG +.

Good location, comfortable bed. The could use a table and chair since it had a kitchenette. The bathroom floor could have been cleaner. We were disappointed that we did not get the room that was pictured in the listing.

The room is immaculately clean! The sheets, pillows & duvet are new and snowy white, the bathroom is huge with new fixtures. However, the room has no chairs to sit on or a table to eat at, so the bed is the only place to sit. All the dishes and cookware is new, but the cupboards are 6' high so you will need a step stool to reach the glasses and cookware! But the bed was extra-low to even heights out! There was lots of hot water, but the water pressure in the roomy shower is a bit more than a trickle. The biggest disappointment was the lack of TV channels - a huge 45" flat screen TV, but no channels - streaming only - and since we are both 80 years old, we didn't have streaming Anything so: no TV. Very quiet room! Easy check-in with key pad on both exterior building and room door. I'd stay again, but would bring camping chairs and a table so we wouldn't have to sit on white duvet with street clothes!!

Property can be noisy because you are in Old downtown. Did not get all my towels when I checked in. A very nice young man brought them to me the next day. The wi fi went out while I was there. I needed to leave for a while and the wi fi was still out and I was stuck outside for about 20 min until someone walked out. I could not get into my room for about another 15 min after that. Sonder staff was very apologetic and friendly. I can not say enough great things about the staff.
