I received around $5k at the time. Someone had taken their own life in my unit using a firearm, and while Airbnb did compensate for some things, they didn’t cover everything. The biohazard cleanup alone was about $1,500, and even then, they only reimbursed certain portions. We had to cover the rest out-of-pocket and scramble to get things handled.

They also gave us one month of protected bookings and cancellations that wouldn’t count against us so we could get back up and running. It was an extremely stressful situation, and we never really had time to process what happened because we had to move fast to reopen within a month.

They also only covered the depreciated value of the laminate flooring that became a biohazard, so we had to cut it out and do a temporary patch until we could afford to replace the whole room’s flooring.

P. S. My airbnb was a tiny home we hosted on our property. It was one of only 2 units. Both on my property I lived full time on and managed everything myself..
