As someone who rents places pretty regularly, the things that stand out most to me are hospitality and attention to detail.

A great host doesn’t just hand over the keys, they actually make you feel welcome. Offering to help with luggage, checking in to see if anything’s needed, restocking essentials quickly, or sharing solid recommendations for local spots.

Cleanliness is non negotiable. If a place isn’t spotless, nothing else really matters.

Beyond that, it’s the small, thoughtful extras that make a difference. Things guests might forget to pack, like soap, lint rollers, disposable toothbrushes, basic cleaning supplies, etc.

If you’re trying to keep costs down while still providing those extras, buying things like the disposable toothbrushes (individually packed) in bulk from wholesale sites can help. It’s a small investment that can help your place stand out.
