AirBnb Kitchen Accessories . . . when is enough, enough?

[David Dery]

My wife and I have a unit that we are finalizing renovations and furnishing as an AirBnb property.  We have already listed it to be available mid-June and already have several bookings (which is very exciting).

But the question is, how much "stuff" do I need to put in the kitchen?  Obviously I need the basics, dishes, flatware, some cookware, etc.  But what about a blender? Mixer?  Those items that you do use at home often, but not necessarily in a vacation setting.  Obviously you could go crazy and add all the George Foreman grills you want, but just wondering where to draw the line.

Thanks!

Depending on your market / target guest type act accordingly.  We put in everything we would want in a nicer middle to high end rental:  toaster oven, mixers, wine stoppers/ tuper ware, full spice cabinet, tons of cook ware, roasting pans, dishes to handle 1.5x occupancy, lots of coffee mugs, glass ware, two coffee makers, steak knives, salad bowls, kids plates/bowls.  You get the idea.  We constantly get great reviews commenting on well how stocked our kitchen is.  Even if people don't/won't use everything in a single visit the great reviews will help drive future bookings.  As @Doug Pintarch said everything does get used by someone.
