Furniture, pictures, throw rugs, etc  covering walls and floors.  

I simply look at the spread between all costs and short term revenue to see if it makes sense relative to the extra CAPEX (furniture) needed.

People want to know details for planning their move...sometimes they want to ask if you'll sell them the outside furniture etc.....It may not be 'appropriate' for your agent, but my next thought would be how many deals have they done? 

Get your furniture from thrift stores in nice neighborhoods (good quality, medium price) so you don't care when it needs replacing.It's totally fine to move the booking off Airbnb and book a guest directly (just don't double book yourself).

Every appraiser I've ever talked to says they do not evaluate furniture, or cleanliness, or things not associated with the structure itself.   

These items can be depreciated over 5 or 7 years: Fixtures, furniture, controlled access gates, alarm systems, computerized systems, security systems, movable partitions, etc.This accelerated depreciation strategy allows the property investors to immediately reduce their tax liability and in turn, increase their bottom line by offsetting income.

My wife did a fantastic job on the decorating and we built some custom-made furniture.
