About Wimdu

We are Wimdu, one of the world’s leading online marketplaces for private accommodation. We believe passionately in the power of travel and strive each day to make quality travel experiences more accessible to everyone. With over 350,000 properties in more than 150 countries, Wimdu offers travellers authentic and affordable accommodation, from city apartments in Barcelona, to chic studios in Paris, spacious lofts in New York and beach houses on the exotic island of Bali.

Remembered travel experiences are invaluable, which is why we connect travellers and hosts worldwide. Wherever you may travel, you are guaranteed to create long lasting memories with Wimdu. We operate our business under the idea that it is the small, local discoveries that make the holidays something special. Our apartments are ideal starting points for experiencing the many different facets of a city, whether it is in large metropolises such as Paris, Barcelona, or Rome, or in smaller, more relaxed cities.

Wimdu also lets you rent out your own place to those looking for a place to stay. Listing with us is free, and you can make money from your extra space whilst helping others explore the world.
