It is difficult to find a suitable place to stay in Japan, with nearly all real estate agencies demanding large, non-refundable deposits and expensive forced co-signatories. It can take huge lengths of time to search and find a place to live without hamstringing yourself through debilitating initial financial outlay. Therefore it is a godsend to find someone who is as helpful and friendly as Mie, and it is because of her kindness that I was able to find a place to stay and start a life in Japan. I am always thankful for the support I received in ensuring that I could live in a pleasant environment in a friendly neighborhood, with all of the necessities for living covered. She was quick to resolve any issues and both helpful and friendly with any difficulties I had in establishing my life in Yokohama.
