My tenant keeps asking me to come check the property in person

Sharing this here with the hope of getting thoughts from someone more experienced...

I found a family who agreed to rent out my place for six months. Initially they said they are happy to leave their things in case I want to turn my place into an Airbnb. I said it's very thoughtful of them but just said "let's see". A month later now, they are insisting I come and see the place in person and see "how well it turned out". I said I appreciate the invite but a visit may not be necessary, and if they really want me to see it they can send me the pictures of the place. They said I am happy to take pictures myself but need to see it in person "for the full experience".


Can someone please help what could be going on? Why would they be interested to do this when they know there is no impact to their rent, or whatsoever? It's a big townhouse, and a couple is living there; I have never had such experience where the tenants ask me to come stop by in such way.

Unless they’re swingers looking for excitement, why else invite you to look at the place? I’d bring a witness if I ever went. People are strange.
