Clankaroo Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi all, I plan to move to Sydney in february '15. I will need to find a job (IT) and some place to live. Do you think staying in a serviced appartment for 7 or 8 weeks would be enough ? I'm a bit scared to be "short" on the duration and maybe need more time to settle, or maybe I am a bit pessimistic ? What is your experience ? Can you extend your short-term stay if you need it ? Is it too early to book this short-term rental ? Any advice on how to negotiate on the costs ? Finally, I still wonder about how to get an internet connection when I have arrived. I really will need this for my research. Either I rent an appartment with an internet connection or I buy a usb dongle with some data plan. Which one is the best according to you and your experience ?

Pumpkin Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Most people find their permanent rental in 3-4 weeks, unless you are thinking that you don't want to take on a permanent place until you have a job, I would say your 7-8 weeks is a bit much. I can see no harm in booking temporary /arrival accommodation now. Your serviced apartment might have free wifi, if not then a dongle would be cheaper.

Chortlepuss Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Don't rule out air b&b usually free WiFI. Once you get free of Feb accommodation will get cheaper. More rentals from March onwards as you go into Autumn and less competition for rentals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
