BETTER THAN EXPECTED! Our hosts Terry and Yukari have curated a well-appointed, cozy, and highly functional residence for our trip to Portland. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone in search of a "home away from home" for your next trip to Portland.
It was clear from before arrival that Terry and Yukari would be available if need be, and their communication was always quick and thorough. Twice during my stay I needed to get in touch with Terry, and he responded almost immediately to my queries.
The apartment itself is so warm and inviting, and it truly feels that the Bybee Be & Be was curated with the traveler in mind, accommodating for each of her needs. I was surprised to note that the home was furnished with top-of-the-line amenities, such as a heated bidet, remote-controlled sleep number bed that led to a fabulous 5-nights sleep, a comfortable mattress on a Murphy bed, as well as several comfortable living furnishings, many kitchen appliances, and almost all controlled by Alexa (if you so wish). I have missed Alexa turning on my lights in the morning! It is clear that Terry and Yukari put in a lot of thought and care to make the space functional as well as elevated. The heating was also more than adequate and kept us cozy on some cold and rainy nights.
One of my favorite parts about the Bybee Be & Be was the well-appointed labels. Most were functional for guiding us around the apartments and the light switches, but some were humorous and felt like I was getting to know our hosts from these labels and their art work, which I really appreciated.
I have already recommended the Bybee Be & Be to friends and I plan to return myself. Thank you Terry, Yukari, and Cipher!
