I've encountered several instances where i've put my apartment up for rent and after some research it becomes apparant that some last-minute bookings are being made by prostitutes. I've come to this conclusion after cross-checking their stories and asking questions about odd arrival times and wide-gaps between message response time.
I understand it's not right to accuse someone of this, but how can i decline a booking based on the fact that i've become uncomfortable with the guest without violating discrimination policies.

I see you have changed your minimum stay requirement to 3 nights. That should help. Also, have you set Verified ID required to book on your listing?
I would also suggest that you set your booking window to require at least 1 day notice to avoid last minute, same day bookings which I would imagine hookers would want. You might also consider enabling Instant Book. With IB Airbnb is much more forgiving on cancellations when a host is not confortable with the guest. And, with Instant Book, you can require that guests have previous positive reviews from hosts. That should cut out the unseemly overnighters I would think.
Its not illegal to ban a Lady of the Night or Man of the Hour from staying in your property. Especially considering you dont run a brothel. On the upside allowing them in I suppose you wouldn't have to worry about a lot of cleaning the kitchen or the apartment. Investing in cheap disposable sheets may make it easier. Do they make those? Probably not, but thrift stores have tons of cheap sheets. Prostitutes and the like don't like to give a lot of information about their affairs so perhaps stating you'll be there upon arrival and checking ID and verifying information upon arrival may make them think twice about staying there.
