@Super47 My most recent successful claim was in late July. And I was honestly surprised it went anywhere at all after the guest refused to pay. Airbnb messaged me within hours of her refusal to tell me it *may* qualify for the Host Guarantee, and within 24 hours I was paid.
I had provided photos of the stained sheets, the label from the sheets, and the invoice for the replacement sheets I had already purchased. Now I wonder - was that it? I had already purchased the replacement, so it was clear that's where the money would go. Hmmm.
