Do Your Amenities Change Your Target Audience?

Besides location, I am convinced that the amenities that you provide in your vacation rental can change the demographic / audience of guests drastically. 

Example: I had a pool table in the dining room of my airbnb (only bar tables for eating).  I had amazing feedback on the pool table and people booked the place just for it!  But over time, people kept spilling drinks on the pool table, bachelor and bachelorette parties kept booking my place.  That audience caused so much more headache than a couple or small family would.  So, I removed the pool table, and replaced it with a large dining table.  I bought a bunch of board games and puzzles then advertised those as an amenity.  As a result, my occupancy increased, more families and couples booked stays, and way less people came to my place to party.  

Do you agree with this?  Do you have any recommendations on amenities that will attract responsible low impact guests over the riffraff?
