Airbnb now offers travel insurance

I just booked a stay for myself and was offered to purchase travel insurance in big red letters (after check out). It offered trip cancellation and interruption. I did not read much further. Very welcome news for someone like me, with a strict cancellation policy.  to Have any of you purchase it or had a guest do so?

@Inna22 That’s great, for sure. With Airbnb, the devil is always in the details though, so we shall see. Did you investigate further for any details?  I wonder how many guests will start the process all over, to purchase insurance, once they’ve checked out for their stay. 

@Colleen253 hopefully for once their desire to make booking as easy as possible (no ID, no picture- no problem) will apply here as well
