The term "collaborative economy" emerged two years ago to describe giving, sharing or swapping services for a fee.

We were just in Amsterdam and stayed at a B&B that was a home, with two separate apartments for short term stays. The map and and the wording in this article are clearly setup to be negative toward short term rentals. The map makes it look like the entire city is short term rentals. From my visit I dont think that was the case. I also dont think we disturbed the neighborhood. This article uses words like illegal, violation and against the laws. Amsterdam law allows for rental of your property for a total of about 60 days in the year, with 4 people maximum in a property. Wow that is restrictive.
As vacation home owners this is something to watch. Restrictive laws in my area would be a big problem for me.
These laws will change and get tougher worldwide. We will be preparing Houfy for home-exchange and long term rentals (30 days +)
