I assumed there was monetizing involved, but didn’t see how those posts could monetize. Since this forum requires a certain amount of comments on already started threads to be posted before being able to start a new topic, and didn’t see that this user had posted a new topic to post a spam link, I was stumped. But maybe they did and you removed it entirely?
@HostKat lots of useful advice given. Be great to hear if any of it helped ?

It’s a weird photo, too. Doesn’t the guy’s arm and hand look photoshopped on? It looks too skinny and at a weird positioning to the face. If someone is resting their face on their hand, the palm of their hand under on their chin, not on their neck and sticking out way past it.
Would this be a photo of a real person, or also a computer-generated composite face?
Maybe she’s too busy “passing the gravy” with her new beau. 
Or deep into insulating the common wall.

The responses here are hysterical! @HostKat, one of the obvious questions that sticks out to me is why you don’t move your bedroom to the guest room down the hall? It seems to be set off from the other rooms and even though the room might be smaller or less appealing or whatever, it would probably be a minor compromise for ensuring your guests are happy in the morning too. 
I’m probably the only one to have this perspective, but I would absolutely take the full disclosure approach the others have mentioned here or stay at your boyfriend’s home because I would be annoyed if I went to bed at 10 and woke up at midnight to hot and heavy noises coming from the next room. The students you host might be more likely to keep late hours, sleep soundly, be indifferent to noises in the middle of the night. I’m guessing the other type of guest you mention, conference attendees, are faculty or administrators and I would imagine they need a good night’s sleep because they have a presentation the next day or they have a grueling conference schedule or whatever. So you potentially have two widely different demographics at your house and all kinds of different preferences and reactions within those two demographics. You say “it is my house and I have to live.” That’s true, but you’re also a professional who’s renting her home to guests to earn income. It’s kind of like Beyonce saying “damn it, why is the press hounding me?” There are certain annoyances that come with certain positions, including being a host. Of course you know this already so why am I even pointing it out? ha! You should absolutely have a healthy and intimate relationship with your SO, but you might have to get creative about how you do that while you’re still renting your place. Or just make him a co-host so at least the guests know who he is when they run into him in the hall.

I thought of suggesting this, but then the host runs the same risk of one guest disturbing another guest in the adjoining guest room. And we don’t know her house set up. Perhaps she can charge more for the room on the other end of the house because it’s larger and has an ensuite bathroom.

I literally choked to keep from spitting out a perfectly good Bourbon & Coke when I read that.

True. Although this bit made me chuckle…
Now that’s a whole new subject altogether!
