Two people cannot hold the same space

One space is rented to one person at any moment. A booking and a host's own block each occupy their dates on the calendar.

If somebody else holds dates that overlap yours, the booking stops and you are told that the dates overlap an existing booking.

The check is made in the database, not only on screen. If two people pay for the same space at the same moment, only one of them gets it and is charged; the other is not charged, and their booking does not close.

So the same dates on the same listing cannot be booked twice — not even by a double press. The same listing at another time is a perfectly legitimate booking.

As soon as a booking is cancelled, the dates are released and become available again.
