AITAH for wanting my sister to stay at my house

Hello, I (F 34) decided to host my sister (F 23) at my place for a few days. I hadn't seen her in a year and we made plans for her visit a year in advance, before I got married. My husband (M 30) and I have almost been married a year now. My sister usually only stays a week max but this time she got 10 days off for the trip.

Her last trip she spent 4 days with me and 3 with my mom. This time she wanted to spend 5 with me. When it came time for her to come my husband made it clear he didn't feel comfortable with us sharing our home for 5 days. I thought we compromised and I told my sister I could only host her for 2 days. But I did visit her after I got off work 2 days because 1 was her birthday and she was said she didn't spend much time with me.

Since she's leaving tomorrow I went to visit her and spent 2 hours with her before coming home. My husband pointed out that it is weird for me to enjoy my families company so much, to let them stay and not make them get a hotel. My reasoning being if she got a hotel I would see her less and she feels like a daughter to me in a way because of our age gap. I told him our family dynamics are just different but he doubled down and said I'm weird and no man would put up with this. AITAH and if so what would be a better way to compromise?
