When calculating the portion of expenses to claim on a rental property, can I base it on availability vs. actual weeks rented?

I have a property that I use as a short term rental for a portion of the year. I know I can't right off 100% of expenses, but am wondering if it would be appropriate to determine the amount based on the number of weeks I have my property advertised/available for rent. The alternative would be to only count the number of weeks that actually rented, which would be fewer. Logically, it makes sense to base it on the weeks available for rental, but I'm wondering how CRA would view this.
