Investors & landlords

Just an FYI:

We used it for a total of 9 days, primarily to be there for attending to maintenance items

Those are not personal use days. Since your primary reason for being there was for turn-around and maintenance, you were not occupying the property for any type of personal use. You were there to perform necessary maintenance and I also suspect for turn-around to prepare the property for the next renter. All expenses incurred during that time, including your reasonable travel costs, are all deductible on the SCH E.
