Furnished rental: what's actually included (and what isn't)

Just signed for a furnished apartment in El Poblado. "Furnished" included: bed, couch, dining table, kitchen basics, washing machine.

Did NOT include: sheets, pillows, towels, kitchen utensils, dishes, anything you'd actually use to make coffee. First week was rough.

Ask explicitly. Get a list in writing.

Thank you for this. Adding "ask for the inventory list" to my move checklist.

Still some of the fully furnished apartments include everything, even kitchen utensils an pillows/sheets, but honestly, wouldn't you want to have your own? It's a matter of convenience anyways.
