Can I stay at a property while rehabbing it and deduct repairs?

[Dina Harleth]

I'm living in a house that I want to convert to a rental. If I need to come back to make repairs such as new flooring, is it ok to stay a few nights on the property itself while choosing flooring, overseeing minor repairs, etc?  Or, for tax purposes, should I simply stay elsewhere (i.e. hotel)?
