PM made a couple attempts to collect and then offered to cover the damage because toilet replacements are not that costly and continuing to pursue the damages did not make sense for them.Airbnb is supposed to cover guest damage but if they refuse to pay for guest damage their insurance has reduced value and cannot be relied upon. 

I assumed this would be the case because the rest of what California has to offer kind of sucks.

Your maximum allowable offer.
