Sonder The Elliston

We loved the apartment! Well decorated and had everything we needed! Parking was super easy. Limited comfortable seating in living area for more than 3 people and the sofa bed was broken so we could not use that. Also whoever lived above our unit had a kid (or several) that ran back and forth on the ceiling till 10 pm at night. But other than that we had a great visit. Will definitely recommend for future visits!

The property initially looked beautiful but after looking around everything was filthy. There were food splatters all over the wall behind the stove and we never cooked anything. Doors and cabinets needed cleaning. The baseboard in the bedroom looked like someone spilled coffee on it. We were on the first floor and most of the windows were unlocked when we got there. Some didn’t even lock!! We had set a few new bags of chips on the counter and the next morning there was rat poop all over the counter and stove and they had shredded the chip bags. I know it was not a mouse because the poop was the size of a sunflower seed! We threw all our food away and wiped down the counter but it shows up the next day! The company offered to move us to the room across the hall but rats are in the building not just one room. They also offered a room two miles away but is was less than 24 hours before we were leaving and to pack up 4 people would have been a pain. The people upstairs were loud and banged around quite a bit and we woke up every morning at 3 am to trucks emptying dumpsters that sounded like they were right outside our window. Had the place been clean and rodent free I could have let the noise go but it just added to my disgust. They refunded $50 for the inconvenience after sending them pictures of the rat poop but that wasn’t even worth time time it took me to complain.

Clean, comfortable and great location. I think someone was giving a hippo tango lessons upstairs, though. It’s irritating that they make us not only pay for my own TV source (e.g. Hulu), but mow also pay for Chromecaster just to watch TV at the end of the day. Also note that the ground floor looks out into a parking lot and sidewalks, so you have to keep the curtains closed if you don’t want to feel like you’re in a fish bowl. Otherwise, it’s a fine place to stay.

Only thing that was disappointed about was that there was no recycling at the place. Love the ability to walk to most places like restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, clothing stores and close to bus stop. Taxis were easy to find and get a hold of. Just would like to see a recycling bin. Love the area and the fact there was a Dunkin' Donuts across the street. Love the fact Martin's BBQ was just down the street. It was very easy to get around and people in the area very friendly. Love Nashville Tennessee and love the area a whole lot. Nice place and would recommend. Just wish there was recycling around!

The beds were hard like very hard. The shower had absolutely no water pressure. The house has extremely thin walls and so the noise from the other units is very loud. This is a first floor apartment. The biggest issue I had was that the tv was not working so I called for assistance. They said they would send someone within 12 hours and asked if it was ok for someone to come in while we were out and I said no. Then they CAME IN ANYWAY!!! I spoke to a Sonder rep who apologized but it didn’t change the fact that they entered after I explicitly asked them not to

It was a cool place and clean but it could use a coat of paint. The heat didn’t work so well, investigating on the last day I found the filter blocked with dirt. Also, we were in apt number 1 on the first floor and found most of the windows unlocked. Yikes

Couldnt get tv to hook to wifi

This is a great property that is walkable to downtown! Lots a great restaurants. The apartment is older with that older charm like hardwood floors and there is lots of room!

Great stay

So much to like about this property, it was updated, modern, clean and in a really good location. It was extremely noisy but I could live with that as I had read about it in previous reviews. The reason I would not choose to stay here again is that both beds were extremely uncomfortable. The master bed is shockingly form and I eventually choose to sleep there. But the full size bed is like a futon mattress it feels softer but offers no support. The couch was not comfortable either. I will say that communication was awesome and customer service from Sonder was great when we had a request about late check out. If the beds were even somewhat comfortable I would not hesitate to stay here again.
