Manipulative friend (23F) is staying with me (23F) for 10 days. How do I set boundaries about the time I can spend with her and events I need to attend on my own?

I have a friend who I enjoy day to day staying with me for 10 days. I’ve noticed this year she is very manipulative about things and is a big moocher. I was fine until she asked me to pick her up at the airport (a 3 hour round trip for me) and threatened to stay with someone else if I didn’t. She always gives ultimatums and seems angry that I had any plans this week other than her. I have my first week of work this week, as well as two family events she isn’t invited to. How can I set boundaries that she needs to spend some time on her own? I think she thinks I will be missing work for the week.

TLDR: manipulative friend staying with me, worried she will not stop me from attending my other obligations. How do I set boundaries at the beginning of the visit?
