The Hive is an adorable home! The decor & furnishings are beautiful. A lot of hard work has gone into creating this AirBnB. Each room has its own special touches. The amenities are thoughtful, such as personal fans in each room, games & books for entertaining yourself, & there was even an extension cord ready to be utilized in places where wall outlets weren't nearby. Our group especially enjoyed dining on the screened in back patio.
A few points that might be helpful for individuals who like to cook while on vacation- this kitchen is only equipped with the very basic utensils & cookware. Unlike other AirBnB's that I've stayed in, there's not much for leftover pantry staples, like olive oil or seasonings, just some salt & pepper & a can of no-stick spray. The knives left a lot to be desired, but hopefully those are replaced soon. And we had to get creative with pots & pans (there was only one baking sheet) while preparing a full meal for 9.
There was a nice stock of other household items, such as soap, detergents, etc. We did end up purchasing more paper towels than were provided, but that wasn't a big deal. And if you're used to a more plush toilet paper, you may want to bring your own.
The owner of the AirBnB is great at communicating & very responsive to messages. it's obvious that they try very hard to make sure every guest is comfortable during their stay. All of the "issues" that I brought to her attention after our stay were received well & already actively being addressed or on a list of "to-do's" for the house.
Overall, our group very much enjoyed our stay at The Hive. It's a lovely home in a very convenient location to all that Asheville has to offer.
