Trust & safety

Address stays private

Renters see the neighbourhood and postal area. The exact address unlocks once a booking is paid.

Hosts approve renters

Unless a host turns on instant book, every request is reviewed and can be declined.

Secure payments

Card payments and host payouts are handled by Stripe. Stowly never sees full card or bank numbers.

Message before you commit

Each booking has its own message thread. Ask about access, size and rules before move-in.

Reviews from real rentals

Only renters with a paid booking can leave a review.

What's not allowed

Living or working in a space, and storing hazardous, illegal, stolen or perishable items.

Insurance

Stowly doesn't provide insurance. Renters should check their home or auto policy for off-site storage coverage, and hosts should check theirs before renting out space.
