Very nice apartment at a very reasonable rate
Pros:

It was great to have the use of a full kitchen and a comfortable suite at much lower cost than the meeting hotel. The room was clean and attractive.

Cons:

It was a longer walk to the meeting hotel than anticipated, but the walk was through a beautiful and interesting part of town, by Constitution Hall. I took an Uber back after a dinner at the meeting hotel. There was some highway noise, but I got a good night's sleep anyway.

Great Opton in central Philly
Pros:

It’s so great when a 2-bedroom apartment actually has two comparable bedrooms each w its own bath. (Often one is much better than the other). Lots of light, good quality linens and towels, walkable to many things. Gorgeous rooftop view, especially at night. The staff were very kind and helpful

Cons:

Minor, but apartment kitchen had only one fry pan and two small pots for cooking. No baking sheets. It is very close to a freeway and railroad bridges. Ear plugs are provided. I j did not find the noise bothersome. The traffic was like a constant white noise in the background.

Soluzione comoda, indipendente e centrale a Philadelphia - Old Town
Pros:

Posizione centrale, nel cuore del quartiere storico di Philadelphia. Gli appartamenti sono moderni, spaziosi e ben arredati, con cucine complete che permettono di godere di un'esperienza più indipendente. Il sistema di self-check-in rende l'arrivo comodo e sicuro.

Cons:

L'assenza di una reception fisica può rendere difficile ottenere assistenza immediata in caso di necessità.
Fastidiosi sono i rumori provenienti dalla strada (ponte+svincolo), che possono disturbare il sonno (la struttura mette a disposizione tappi per gli orecchi e macchina per i rumori bianchi).

Fantastic unit and location, but loud neighbors and little help from Sonder
Pros:

Location was great, apartment was very spacious and clean with nice modern touches. With the door code, it was easy to get in and out without needing to check in.

Cons:

Upstairs neighbors were extremely loud for three nights in a row and Sonder customer service did not respond to multiple texts and emails about this. After finally reaching Sonder by phone on the loudest night around midnight on a Sunday, they said they would send building security up but it took 3 more calls before the noise stopped and I’m not convinced building security ever did anything - pretty sure the neighbors just finally called it a night. Sonder offered a credit toward a future stay but that won’t be much use to me after this experience.

Correcta.
Cons:

Que era un apartamento como mínimo para dos y solamente había una silla. Tenías que comer de pie o sentado en el sofá y solo con una mesa individual.
