Homey Apartment Stay in Austin

We loved our stay in Austin. The apartment was clean, comfortable and in a great location. The free and secure parking was a great perk since we had a rental car. We didn't get to use some of the amenities like pool or BBQ's because the weather wasn't great but we will definitely look up this place for our next stay in Austin.

Parking a little tight, but honestly, if that’s the only complaint, it’s a win, right? Excellent property, location is great, and amenities are top notch! This just became our go-to accommodations in Austin.

Staycation for Gala Event

Sonder at the Catherine was a great stay. The room was amazingly clean and very luxurious. I loved the feel of the studio for my wife and me to enjoy. The only possible issue was hot water seemed to go very quickly and the height of the tub was a little dangerous to step into and out of the shower. Overall, we loved the stay and plan to do it again. Sonder staff was super cool too and their communication was great.

Great apartment.

Smart apparent with pretty much a you need for a good stay. Excellent check in and communication in advance. The apartment block is in a quiet area no more than 15 min the the bustle. Excellent pool area and great rooftop bar. And very friendly and helpful staff. Free parking is great.

The property itself was great, and the location unbeatable. The on-site support is a weak point though. The key fob required for getting past the parking gate had a dead battery, and the service desk was out of replacements. Never did get a working fob. Fortunately, I did not need to get in/out of the garage very often because I could walk to the places I wanted.

The location of the apartment is great. You can walk to most of the attractions of Austin. It is great to have an free indoor parking lot. The size of the apartment is perfect for three people. The coffee in the lobby is delicious.
