Hybrid model of rental and personal use

Hi, I have an unusual case where I rented my entire home to airbnb guests and "moved out" whenever it was rented and stayed with family.  What would i classify my rental?  I wasn't just renting a room, but it was my primary residence whenever it wasn't rented.  So essentially, it was rented 28 nights, and the remaining nights of the year were for personal use.  I'm getting hung up on how to classify this.

Classify it as a 'vacation or short term' rental.  

 

As you go through the Property Profile section, you will be asked if the property was rented all year.  You can answer 'no' and then enter the number of rental days and personal days.  This ratio will be used to prorate your expenses.
