    Feel free to seek any clarifactions / ask questions.

    Hypothetical scenario.

    You are sharing a 3-bed property with two other people. One of them occassionally has one of their friends (not necessarily the same friend each time) stay at the weekend, typically after a night out. The friend sleeps on a sofa / camp bed in the living room. You and the other housemate do not normally have overnight visitors. All three housemates have known each other for 2 years and have a good, balanced relationship.

    The friends are polite, friendly (but not too much), considerate, honest, normal people, but you don't particularly know them. No loud, rude, drunken, exhibitionistic, obsessive, thieving, lecherous, boring weirdoes allowed. The friends can be of either gender and may be younger / older adults.

    While the host / their friends takes care of any responsibilities they have (own food, clean up after themselves, etc.), no money or other consideration changes hands.

    How many nights total per year is it reasonable for the friends to stay?
