Nightmare. Cluster-F***. Unsafe for Women. I have probably 50 emails back and forth between me and Whimstay personnel. Let's go over the issues: 1) Bait and Switch accommodations. Condo was unsafe, in a party building had no locks on the patio door and men were on that same patio in the morning. I didn't sleep a wink. 2) It took an "act of Congress" to get out of the booking and I had to do a charge-back on my credit card because even though Whimstay was the lessor of record with the credit card, they kept claiming the refund was up to the scammer property owner who failed to put proper locks on the balcony door and also failed to notify me (the lessee) that men would be on the balcony during the stay. 3) Epic fail by Whimstay customer service. Somehow they got my first review removed, but I have emails proving this all happened. The only reason I'm almost "whole" (not 100%, but almost) is because I had to open a dispute on my credit card for the massive breach and failure to deliver what was purchased. The lady at Whimstay was mostly nice, but her common sense and decency didn't exist and she chose to go with what her bosses said vs. helping a woman traveler stay safe.

We're sorry your stay didn't go the way it should have. As the booking platform, we partner with hosts who manage their own properties and work to ensure they provide great experiences for travelers. The broken balcony door lock and undisclosed construction/cleaning were the host's responsibility, and shouldn't have happened. Our team worked with you that same night to find another property, issued a credit for a large percentage of the original booking so you can rebook another stay, directly covered a fee from the new host so you wouldn't have to pay it, and advocated for you until the original host agreed to a significant refund. We always work to ensure travelers are taken care of even when they encounter issues with a host. Our team has since met with the host to ensure this experience isn't repeated. We hope to help find you another stay in the future so another host can provide a great experience.

I came across Whimstay and never heard of or used them before so I was a little skeptical and hesitant but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was perfect and easy from the booking process to checking out. The rental was amazing, the host was wonderful and the location was exactly what I wanted.

It totally makes sense to be hesitant if you haven't heard of Whimstay before. We're so glad to hear everything went so well! We'll pass the love along to your host. Thanks for giving us a shot!

Check in was easy. Glad there was always someone in the lobby checking in on me. The place was nice and clean and in a perfect location for me right in between the loop and the west loop.
