policies
Communication is the best policy. Things happen, stuff breaks. If the value of the broken item is less than $100, don't worry about, we will take care of it, but please communicate it is broken regardless if you were the one that broke it. If the value is over $100, we will arrange something via email. We want to encourage everyone to communicate without feeling like they will be "in trouble". We appreciate honest communication + a fair opportunity to figure things out.
+ what if i find a mess or break something myself?
Due to limited availability, Rentals need to be delivered + picked up same day. We cannot hold any rentals for you, so the rentals must be delivered and picked up within your rental time you booked.
+ Can I drop off or pickup on a different day than my booking?
You can reschedule using your confirmation email up to 24 hours before your reservation start time. (ex: If your reservation is Tuesday at 2:00pm, you have until Monday 1:59pm to reschedule.) Reschedules are not available after 24 hours and will not be refunded or studio credit given. Cancellations before 24 hours can receive a full refund minus processing fees, to the extent allowed by California law. Cancellations can also be given studio credit if desired.
+ What is your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
We ask that you show up promptly when you reservation starts. You can come early and wait in the parking lot, but if someone is in the space, please don't bother them until your booking time.
+ CAN I SHOW UP EARLY TO SET UP?
Check out our studio/info page for everything that is included. On top of all the props, walls + furniture, the space has a wheelchair accessable bathroom with a changing table, lots of cleaning supplies for you to use to clean up. Seamless paper is available for 2+ hour bookings for an additional $35.

+ what is the best time to rent the space?
Please be prompt + thoughtful of the guests coming in after you. If you are at the studio + need/want more time, text us immediately to see if there is availability after your original booking. If you need more time before your booking, go to your confirmation email and click "Change/reschedule" button to add more time (up to 24 hours before your scheduled booking). If you do not communicate with us and stay past your reservation, we check the security cameras after every booking.A $5/minute charge will be charged to your cc on file or an invoice will be sent to you. Guests rely on your prompt exit.
+ what if I need more time?
Our cleaning policy is simple: Leave the space as clean as you found it, if not cleaner. We rely on a community mindset to keep this space running. Please refer to the cleaning checklist every time you visit to make sure everything is put back where it belongs and the space is left clean and tidy for the next guest coming in. We are not like Airbnb; we clean the space regularly but not after every guest. If the space is not cleaned or rest back to what the instructions show, guests will be subject to a fee between $50-$350.
+ what is your cleaning policy?
We do not require proof of insurance. It is your responsibility to obtain either yearly or hourly insurance for your own liability.
