Unusual use of your space

[Laura2592]

How do you feel about guests coming to do anything other than relax/vacation/sleep in your space?

People have been getting more and more creative about their uses of an Airbnb.  We have had requests for TV shows or photos (and a thread popped up recently where a law enforcement TV show was filmed in a hosts home without prior approval) , temporary location of a business, a catering kitchen for an event nearby, etc. Of course parties, weddings and events come up often and some hosts seem unaware that those are frowned upon by the platform. But even these are outside a typical vacation use.

Have you ever had your space used for something beyond traditional lodging? How do you feel about this? Are there any steps you take to present this?

I have a guest who is using our kitchen to make pies to take to her families pot-luck Thanksgiving tomorrow. It is over-flow kitchen and sleeping space for her and a niece. But, still within the normal use of our place, I think. We live on the property, so no movie shoot could happen without our noticing!
