AirBnB or similar in Amsterdam? Take heed!

If you booked an AirBnB or similar in the last few months, you run the risk of it suddenly being cancelled.

Airbnb locations are UNESCO World Heritage sites? I don't understand, Menachem.

The entire centre of Amsterdam has Unesco World Heritage status.

I agree the tweet is a bit weird. I think what it is saying, is they lost their lodging which was inside the UNESCO area. Could be wrong though.

Well good for Amsterdam and there are plenty of airbnbs outside the zone I would suspect and those may be more interesting real neighborhoods to stay in.

What do we mean by the 'entire center'? How far does it go out - again assuming there could be airbnbs outside the zone. Or is the entire city of Amsterdam - please what does center of the city mean?

The entire centre of Amsterdam has Unesco world heritage status. So that nice AirBnB in the Jordaan? May have been delisted.

In areas like De Pijp and Kinkerbuurt there are bans on AirBnB etc. in the offing as well.
