What "over the top" thing do you do for your vacation rentals?

I'm in the middle of a big road trip with the family, staying at multiple AirBnB's along the way. 

What "extra" amenities do you provide to make the stay special?

@Paul Sandhu, I already know yours.

I provide a fantastic location and all the comforts of home - e.g. smart TV, fully stocked kitchen (with some cooking basics like oils and coffee).

Anything "extra" I provide is inherent to the location - one house is on a river, one has a view, one is super private but also close to town.  

The river house has a hanging swing that overlooks the river - I suppose that's an "extra", and the guests love it.  The house with a view also has a pool table and hot tub, but that's standard for the area.

I'm not providing anything consumable like gift baskets or event tickets or anything like that. Nothing that requires additional expense/work to maintain.  I believe most guests are choosing an AirBNB based on their housing needs and wants, not on bonus items.
