We are caught up between having a practical flowing kitchen, with a fridge where the dishwasher would go, or a less then desirable flow, with a dishwasher but the fridge in a some what awkward spot.

If they are renting by the month vs the night, my guess is they would want an area to cook including a fridge, range, microwave. 

Food in the fridge.

Question on pricing rent on the townhome Details:3 bd, 2.5bath, 1100 sqft, 2storyAppliances: Laundry, Fridge, Dishwasherzip code 92139Is there a website that can calculate the average cost of rent in this area based on location?

Superintendent is paid on move out - do not let super put a fridge or appliances in until your real tenants move in - the squatters will return to steal them as well

Fridge is your responsibility.   

I had college students living in a house and I found they all had mini fridges in their bedrooms when I inquired how they had run up a $450 electric bill. 

Both upstairs and downstairs bedrooms and living room have great views.It's occurred to me that by adding a door to the interior stairs (the units would share a very small interior entryway before entering their specific unit) that I could make this into two separate STR units when preferred: a studio downstairs (I'd add a mini-fridge and a microwave perhaps) and a proper one-bedroom with full kitchen upstairs.

@Paul Sandhu haha, I should clarify the room has a full bath attached, will include a mini-fridge with microwave, and have a separate entrance. 

It is on the higher end and am looking for a stainless steel kitchen appliance set (French door fridge, dishwasher, range, over the range microwave) and having trouble finding a complete set that is available or will be soon.
