Three Things to Know About Serviced Apartments Melbourne before Renting One

Posted by SharonEvans on May 16th, 2013

Serviced apartments have burgeoned in popularity across all Australian metros. These are typically 2 or 3 bedroom condos equipped with standard kitchen and electrical appliances and all the other urban facilities. Serviced apartments Melbourne are no different than the corporate apartments that are available in other Australian metros, with some equipped with more than the standard facilities. If you are here in Melbourne for work or leisure purposes and you are looking for living quarters preferably within close proximity of Melbourne CBD, you actually need to evaluate the apartments based on various factors. Melbourne apartments that are tuned up for meeting the corporate requirements are generally high and mid-priced. However, you may find Melbourne or Perth accommodation on the web that do not cost too much. The rental fee varies depending on several factors that are described here below.

Location: Location is the biggest determinant of the rental fee of different serviced apartments Melbourne. Choosing an apartment within the vicinity of the Central Business District (CBD) can be costly and advantageous at the same time. This is because you can get easy access to the Queen Victoria Market, the inner suburbs of the city and various other places of commercial interest. You can also reach the business convention centres of the city that are mostly dotted in or around the CBD of Melbourne. Public transport means are also easily available if you choose to stay in a serviced apartment in Melbourne CBD. The same factor determines the rental fees for the Perth accommodation options.

1.            Facilities: You need to check the facilities that are offered with serviced apartments Melbourne.  an apartment of this kind should come with spacious dining and living room, queen size bed, LCD television with Foxtel cable connection, broadband internet connection (wired or wireless), fully outfitted kitchen, meeting lounge, air conditioning and heating system (controllable by the renter), complimentary housekeeping services (including laundry and cleaning), onsite parking (free or chargeable). As you might assume, some of the additional services offered with these serviced apartments cost nothing whereas charges may apply for using the community gym or the share parking space in some cases. Perth accommodation for corporate clients is less costly. However, the rent may differ here also based on the facilities and services offered.

2.            Customization options: Many apartment owners do not allow their tenants to add kitchen appliances or modify room furnishings. They also prohibit them painting the walls and may fine you for doing that. When choosing from the serviced apartments Melbourne, always check to see whether you can do necessary modifications or you have to keep the interiors as it is. Moreover, you should check whether there is a parking space in the basement and  whether you have to pay extra for parking or not.

These are just a few steps you may take to stave off further complications or disputes. There are websites that offer free information on Melbourne or Perth accommodation and contacting these corporate housing solution providers is always a good idea especially if you are new to Australia.
