Vet and set.
Vet well and set rules that you can live with.

Local papers.
Local free papers
Send a letter to some local schools or the Educatio Office if you would like a teacher to rent the room.
Teachers will have been checked out for any police record.

All sounds fairly normal to me.
Nothing outrageous really

Nah.
I think your overnight guest rule is fine. I'd hate to have strangers in the house - I'd go further and say none during the week.
I'd also specifiy noise levels. And not using hot water to rinse plates before putting them in the dishwasher, not overfilling the kettle, not hogging the bathroom all morning, no leaving plates of food in bedrooms or lounge, washing up done fairly prompty, grill pan being cleaned after every use.
