Kitchen Basics
Dishes - a complete set for 1.5-2x the number of guests your rental accommodates. Use a product you’ll be able to replace if necessary, rather than something that will be hard to match in the future.

These items will need to be restocked periodically; add local flavor if you’d like. Have your cleaners restock upon turnover.

Pillows
I recommend 3 sets of sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers per bed (1 made up, 1 spare, 1 for ease of laundering off site for quick turnovers). White is the most common, crisp and clean, reminiscent of a hotel, easy to bleach when necessary. You’ll want pill-resistant, wrinkle free. Try my tested, favorite Short Term Rental Sheets!
Extra Pillowcases are handy, they receive the most wear and a little stain is a big turn off.
2 pillows per guest (2 for twin beds, 4 for queen or king, a few spares if you have alternative sleeping areas such as a pull out couch.
One pillow and mattress protector is sufficient, as they do not need to be changed with every turnover, but I always have spares just in case.
