Meanwhile, most hotels and guest houses do have insurance for these kind of situations (leaving a window open while you’re asleep on the second floor when it’s 110 degrees out and there’s no AC or fan is more than normal – we’ve checked with a few French insurance companies about that). What is not so normal is for a host to lie about the kind of insurance policy he has and then coerce guests into leaving false reviews. But that’s just my opinion. Until Airbnb does something about it, here is the apartment: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/25410279?source_impression_id=p3_1566397375_YHjLwCl6NBsFmzRD

Yes, we should have had traveler’s insurance, but we didn’t. However, hotels and guest houses do normally carry insurance for situations like this (and leaving the window open on the second floor while you’re home asleep when it’s 110 degrees out and there’s no AC or fan is more than acceptable. We spoke with several insurance companies in France that verified that). We are still in contact with Airbnb in an effort to leave an honest review for this host. It’s incredible how complicated it is to just to do that (I don’t want to vilify him in any way, just to mention that the apartment got broken into while we were staying there). Then, I do also think that Airbnb should address with him the fact that he coerced us into writing a fake good review. Maybe others think that’s totally ethical, but I would disagree. Anyway, until Airbnb actually does something, here’s the link to the place: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/25410279?c=.pi80.pkdmlyYWxpdHkvc2hhcmVfaXRpbmVyYXJ5&euid=6daa4a87-4435-794d-9d3b-184d7ebc11da&source_impression_id=p3_1566397044_45bVatwfbNGcYf8u

It’s called Tribunal d’instance. It’s free and you don’t need a lawyer, just someone to translate your docs into French.

Some unsympathetic comments here. Why is it relevant what ‘you’ have heard of? Having an upstairs window open while you are inside a property is hardly excessive or risky behaviour. However, I think the concern of the writer was from a dishonest superhost who bribed his way to a better review and an unsympathetic and incompetent customer service who are happy to put others at risk. Well done for sharing the story. I think you should post a link to his place.

I’ve never heard of a hotel that would cover theft if you leave the windows open…

I would always put valuable items on my travel insurance so I know exactly where I stand.
