Property Description
Stay in the heart of Newbury Street at The Magnolia. Charming storefronts and leafy trees line this renowned Back Bay avenue. The red-brick Edwardian exterior blends with the surrounding buildings. Shake Shack downstairs has delicious burgers, and your kitchenette is perfect for storing your leftovers. You'll have a full-size fridge and dishwasher but no oven or stove. Plus, there is in-suite laundry and Roku Streaming. There's plenty more to discover in the neighborhood. You can treat yourself to high-end shopping at stores like Chanel and Cartier. Or take a walk through history at Boston Common — the oldest park in the United States. For fresh oysters, our favorite spot is Atlantic Fish Company. Enjoy everything that Beantown has to offer at The Magnolia.

Beware. Sonder canceled my reservation due to overbooking. They never notified me. It was only at check-in that I found out. They never even issued a refund. After an hour on the phone, it was finally issued. Then, I had to scramble to find another hotel close by. Very poor customer service.

Excelente ubicación, limpieza, decoración moderna con todo lo necesario.
La zona puede ser ruidosa. Los departamentos estan arriba de un local de hamburgiesas.
Estuvimos en la unidad 21 que tiene ascensor con acceso directo. Muy amplia y luminosa. Es accesible.
Me encantó el lugar, lo pasamos excelente y lo recomiendo.

I recently stayed at Sonder The Magnolia Apartments Back Bay and was underwhelmed by the experience. The apartment is located on the fourth floor of a walk-up building with no elevator, which was quite inconvenient, especially with luggage. The unit faced an alley, offering no view. It felt claustrophobic.  While the location on Newbury Street is excellent, the apartment itself felt average at best. The furnishings were basic, and the overall value did not match the high price point. I hesitated to sit on the couch - it looked like it might break and who knows if it is clean. In hindsight, a traditional hotel would have provided better amenities and comfort for a similar cost. Unless you’re specifically seeking an apartment-style stay and are prepared for the stairs and alley-facing rooms, I would recommend considering other accommodations in Boston.

Do NOT stay here
2 wash cloths for 3 adults in a 1bdrm rental. Requested 3x for more to be delivered. Delivered 2nd day after showers. Thin spring mattress on pullout couch low quality and unbearable to sleep on. Adult daughter slept on couch cushion. Requested mattress topper and was told one would be delivered. Then received a message from Sonder they would not deliver one. Entire apt infested with ants. Both my wife and daughter bitten multiple times. How is a property with these issues associated with Marriott? Paying what we did while having these issues is unacceptable. Sonder issued a $50 credit to be used on a future stay which is an insult. And our view was of alley garbage cans with garbage trucks loudly loading garbage at 3am. Bathroom toilet paper holder broken. We will NOT stay at a Sonder property in the future and will be reporting this property to Marriott.

This was a nice little apartment for my short stay.Other than the stairs which I didn’t know about until just before I arrived, it was exactly as described. Clean and nicely decorated. It is a little loud in the neighborhood but even that was addresses with the amenities. I would definitely use again.

I travel to Boston quarterly for work and always stay at this location. It's the perfect location to get in my daily runs, either on the Charles River or through the Public Gardens. Also close to lots of fabulous restaurants and a CVS a couple doors down in the event you forget something at home.

Updated, minimalist interior design. Near Copley Station on the green line. Easy, keyless building access. Walking distance to loads of shops, restaurants, and parks. Dangerously close to late night eats.
Combined washer/dryer unit can take several hours to dry clothes completely. Don't use anything above a medium spin cycle or it might shimmy down the hall.
Noise mentioned in other reviews was not a big issue. The street can get very busy which is great and you will hear the neighbors walking with purpose upstairs. The pluses here outweigh any drawbacks.
