If you're doing the short-term rental thing, you know how important guest reviews are. All any host wants — aside from a drama-free guest, that is — is that coveted five-star review. While you can't please everyone all of the time, you can certainly try make guests feel happy during their stay. You likely know the basics (clean sheets, clean dishes, clean everything), but if you want to really impress people, you'll want to stock your place with little luxuries to surprise and delight them.

Think about it: How excited would you be to show up at a rental and find your very own pair of spa slippers? Or to have a truly convenient, compact place to unpack your things? Fortunately, stocking your rental with crowd-pleasing items doesn't have to cost a fortune. Head to Bed Bath & Beyond and you'll find tons of affordable ideas for upgrading your rental — and in a lot of cases, they'll pay for themselves in just one or two bookings.
