AI Summary
The studio apartments are lauded for their cleanliness, spaciousness, and modern amenities. Guests value the convenient location and appreciate the personal kitchen for preparing meals. However, some find the layout compact.

Great place. Everything was new and clean. Good location, walking distance of everything we wanted. Check in and checkout very easy. Only downside: smoke detectors above the stove, that limited our use of the kitchen. Alarm sounds very often with no reason.

It’s been 4 consecutive years traveling to Chicago during Christmas time and 4 times staying at Sonder’s. The unit at Erie St is so far my favorite. The best location ever! This year I was not that luck once I had to live with noisy guests partying and screaming like crazy all night long. The cleaning should be reviewed since I found an apartment with a lot of dirt and decided to do it on my own. But anyway, the location was the biggest attraction of this trip. If I have to return to Chicago, I will definitely look for Sonder, even know I can face the same issues.

The Opal makes you feel like you leave in your own place abroad, located 5 minutes away from everything, making it easy to commute anywhere by foot. It’s well equipped and clean, the service in the app quickly deals with any problem, the building is safe and the view from the window at the front of the building is amazing especially at night.

We loved everything about our stay. The apartment was extremely clean, modern, and comfortable. We were there for 4 days for the marathon and it was the perfect location for all of the events we needed to be at. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The only complaint I have is that they nickel and dime you with early check in and late check out. You can't actually open the door until the exact reservation time, so we were standing outside for 10 minutes waiting for the door to unlock.

Excellent location in River North : there are many cafes, bars, restaurants - the apartment is approx. 5-7 minutes walk from Michigan Avenue, around 15 mins walk from the Chicago river and Lake Michigan. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable, beds and pillows are great - spacious kitchen/utility room and dining room, high ceilings and modern uncluttered decor. The glazing in the bedrooms is well insulated. Good and prompt communication with the Sonder staff via the app.

Excellent Location!! Very safe neighborhood that has everything that you could want. I stayed for 10 days and it was really nice to have our own kitchen vs eating hotel breakfast every morning. We are definitely planning on staying here on our next extended business trip.

Great location in the city near restaurants, Trader Joes and convenient bike rental. Everything was perfect in the apartment and it wasn't too noisy despite being right downtown. We prepared breakfasts and lunches in the room and saved money. Awesome bike trail on the next street over which leads in to Lincoln Park. We had a wonderful time in the city and it was nice to have an apartment rather than a hotel room to come back to in the evening. The building felt very secure yet was easy to access with provided code. Highly recommend this place if you come to Chicago!!

Great place to stay and convenient to everything in Chicago. Compact, clean, comfortable with everything you need. Easy check-in and check-out. Stayed for five nights. Only complaint was that the coffee maker provided (Cuisinart) leaked terribly when pouring: every time! Jewel-Osco around the corner and CTA red and bus lines. Recommend and would stay again.
