Aussie Hopeful Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 hi all, moving to Melbourne on the 12th Jan and looking for two weeks in short term furnished accomodation. We have been looking desperately but can't find anything decent. So far checked out AirB&B, Stayz and other smaller independent sites. We are a family of 4 and looking to spend a max of $850 a week. If if anyone can help it would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you expect to pay for a holiday flat in a British city? Remember short-term rentals usually cost about twice the price of a long-term rental, especially in a big city where there are lots of businessmen booking as well as holidaymakers. Plus you're arriving bang in the middle of the summer holidays so you're in peak holiday season. @buzzy--bee offers short-term rentals.

Skani Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Plus you're arriving bang in the middle of the summer holidays so you're in peak holiday season. ...particularly with the Australian Open Tennis Championships (one of the 4 big grand slams) running from 18 - 31st January.

Petkula73 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Have a look at serviced apartments. We went through Corporate Keys for a year, but there are lots of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Marisa for the recommendation - we are currently almost completely booked out until Easter though! BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
