Cabinets hung too high. 24" from countertops. What would you do?

I just had a duplex renovated for an airbnb / midterm rental and everything looks great except for the kitchen cabinets. My contractor installed them too high. My wife and I were not aware of the standard placement of cabinets before the install took place. We honestly had so much going on at the time. We had just had our first child while the project was going so when our contractor told us where the cabinets would go, we assumed it'd be good. It doesn't look bad per se (maybe I'm biased being taller) but they are not in the ideal location. 

Some time has gone by now and we've got the place furnished. Our photographer made a comment about the cabinet height and now we are really wondering if we should fix this. Since the cabinets and backsplash is installed, we are not sure what to do. Buy a step stool and forget about it, or hire someone to lower them? I guess I'm wondering from the group here if you all think it looks bad or have had a similar dilemma and what did you do.
