This will likely depend on your market, minimum night stay, and housekeeper's availability. Below are some common scenarios of when hosts might use changeover dates. 

In your market it's customary for travelers to book week-long stays. Let's say your minimum night stay is 7 days, 

 you don't specify a "check-in changeover day." Guests may book: Wednesday to Wednesday, Thursday to Thursday, Sunday to Sunday, and so on. 

Now you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 day calendar gaps. 

You can sell off the gap dates–or to avoid them altogether, select a check-in/check-out changeover day. The most common changeover days are Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Guests depart in the morning, with new ones checking in that afternoon.  

Let's say you want two sets of week-long reservations over the Christmas/New Years holidays: One group will stay for a min. of 7 nights over Christmas, and another for 7 nights over New Year's. 

Sometimes travelers will book 9 nights: checking in on Christmas Eve, and checking out on January 2nd. 

To prevent this, you can create a calendar season called "Christmas;" then adjust the check-in/check-out changeover days and number of minimum/maximum night stays. 

During the off-season, only weekends usually book and your min. night stay is 2 nights. Friday and Saturday are priced much higher than the rest of the week, and you'd like to keep those two days together. 

To prevent a traveler from taking only Thursday/Friday OR only Saturday/Sunday, do not allow check-in/check-out on Saturdays.
