House rules.

Fog & Company is a private page for the host’s friends and family. Signing in does not get you in. The host has to let you through, and may decline without giving a reason. Access is personal: don’t pass your account to anyone else.

Picking dates asks the host for them. Nothing is settled until you get an email saying it is confirmed. Until then, treat flights and trains as your own risk.

The host can decline a request, cancel a confirmed stay, keep dates for themselves, or remove someone’s access at any time. If dates are blocked over a stay that was already confirmed, that stay is cancelled and everyone on it is emailed.

This is someone’s spare room in San Francisco, not a hotel. There is no refund, because there is no payment.

You may bring up to 2 other people, and you should name them when you book. Stays run to 30 nights; longer than that, ask the host directly. Turning up with more people than you listed is the fastest way to lose the room.

You can see which nights are taken and roughly who has them, so that everyone can plan around each other. Don’t use that to work out when anybody’s home is empty, and don’t share it outside the people on this page.

If your plans change, cancel from your trips page rather than going quiet. It frees the nights for someone else and the host is told straight away.

This is a personal project, offered as-is. It may be down, it may lose an email, and it may be switched off entirely. Don’t rely on it for anything that matters more than a bed for the weekend.
