We were able to book only a week out from our trip and the condo was even better than it looked in the pictures.

Sounds like the kind of stay we love hearing about. Easy check-in, quiet space, comfy bed. Thanks for booking with Whimstay!
Lower price on rental, friendly helpful customer support, clunky communication
I appreciate that I think this platform may offer lower prices than other room share sites, and I will say, both times I spoke to a representative they were extremely kind and friendly. The system itself is a bit clunky however, I never knew if I was emailing my host or whimstay or both, due to there not being an app it was all through email too, and as we all know emails can be missed, sent to spam. I would likely use the platform again, but it’s definitely not without its bugs to work out.

Thanks for the honest review. That "am I emailing my host or Whimstay?" confusion is fair, and we want to make it clearer. Glad the team treated you well and the prices held up. We'd love to have you book again.

Lower Rates, Easy to get Ahold of - Smooth Experience!
I had never used Whimstay before, but we needed to book a place relatively quickly for 3, and their price was quite a bit less than VRBO/ AirBnB. They were really easy to get ahold of, quick to answer me, and pleasant to deal with. The place and the price worked out really well for us. I have only good things to say. Thank you!

I was thrilled to find this site! I stayed in a beautiful condo in Isle of Palms that would have cost double on VRBO or Air BnB.

Accommodation is clean
Accommodation is clean, compact and fully equipped as described. Choice of restaurants, parks and public transport nearby.
Main bedroom is on the road side so it could be noisy from the traffic. Access could do with some vacuuming and more security as both door to the road and the one at the top of the stairs were unlocked.

No surprises at checkout is how it should be! Glad we could help with your last-minute booking.
Location was wonderful
Location was wonderful. Right in the heart of the theater district, a few blocks from MOMA. Lots of nearby restaurants and gelato shop. Had all we needed with 2 bedrooms, equipped kitchen.

Booking through Whimstay…
The process to book a unit on Whimstay was very easy. Communication was great and the process from the time I checked in until I checked out was seamless. The space I booked was well maintained and allowed quiet work while not at the convention. I will book through Whimstay for my next trip
