Limited choices in the Preparation time in the Availability Settings

Presently, Preparation time choices are: None, For 1 night before and after, and For 2 nights before and after.   With the objective of increasing my availability window while still having sufficient time to prepare the space, what would be involved to suggest to Airbnb management additional choices such as: For 1 night before and 0 after or For 0 nights before and 1 night after. Thank you.

@Norman-G-0  The Airbnb wording for the prep time setting is highly confusing. 

 

One day prep time does exactly what you want. It blocks one night between bookings, so you don't get a check-out and check-in on the same day. It doesn't block two nights, as it suggests.

 

The "day after" doubles up as "the day before". 

 

Guest A checks out on the 1st. No one can book the night of the 1st. That's the "day after". 

Guest B books to check in on the 2nd. The 1st is also the "day before".
