Jensen mentioned the example of Amsterdam, which has imposed a ceiling of 60 days per year on the number of days that a home be rented through the portal.
Jensen did not mention a figure concerning the possible number of days a property could be rented.
Thomsen said that the meeting with Airbnb was positive. Airbnb said that it would like to receive direction from the Danish government before making a deal with Copenhagen.
