Jetstreem and Vortex Thing, thank you so much! I really appreciate your help and advice.
I'm starting in a couple of weeks, I was thinking of arriving about a week before to recover from the jetlag.
It will just be my wife and I, so a 1 bedroom is good enough at the beginning, we have no kids.
Vortex, I will definitely PM you just before arriving to get in touch with the real estate agents you recommend
