What are your "Wow factor" that your tenants love?

Hi guys,

I have a small studio unit that is due for a turnover so I wanted to take the opportunity to do some updates to hopefully attract a better tenant. I'm listing is at market price so I'm not dependent on the unit commanding more rent because of the updates. I would like to be able to rent it out quicker and to have my pick of tenants because of a nicer unit. 

It's about 400 sq ft more of a linear shape. Vinyl stick on in the kitchen and some new laminate in other areas. I do plan to redo the entire bathroom with new  tiled shower/glass door, tile flooring, medicine cabinet. 

I was thinking of laying down this throughout the entire unit (not bathroom) for a more cohesive flow. Not sure if these are ok in the kitchen so I'l have to check on that. Especially because the floor is kind of sloping towards the kitchen cabinets in areas. 

I was thinking of throwing in some extra wow factor items such as:

-paint new HD unfinished cabinets white 

-modern kitchen hardware

-modern chandelier

-new laminate throughout

-small island

-new marble look countertops

-vessel sink

Any tricks from landlords that seem to get a great response from using certain materials, products to sell your units better? Take a look at the unit as is now and feel free to add input. I know there was a thread somewhere similar to this but I can't seem to find it, I'll keep looking.
