I used to work for a couple who managed a bunch of such rentals and it seems the convenience appliances are used the most like blender, toast oven things and coffee makers.

If there's decent cookware, it might get used. Ample dishes is the right idea too.

I saw your kitchen a few years ago in that video, that's to die for. You have a good idea what is needed for a kitchen but I see that having to outfit one for convenience living can be a stumper.

Oh, oven mitts and trivets just in case.
