event / studio / co-working space

[Melissa2968]

Hello, my name is Melissa Lesh. I'm an air bnb super host in Richmond VA. My partner and I are about to open up another air bnb downtown. We have a commercial office are are interested in exploring the option of listing it as short term event / studio / co-working space. Can anyone share their experience with doing this and what it means now that air bnb will be opening up option on their platform?  I'd love to know what demand there is for these kind of spaces (with a bathoom but without beds) and how this needs to be navigated with zoning. Thank you in advance!
