Arrival

Our Step by Step Guide to renting one of our apartments

Step 1:

Get To The Apartment

On booking we will send you a detailed description of how to get to your chosen apartment.

Step 2:

Check In

In most instances someone will wait for you at the apartment at an agreed time to show you around the apartment and check that everything is to your satisfaction. You will also be shown how to work any equipment such as air conditioning, stereo, etc.. and give you the keys. This is a great time to ask your contact person for any restaurant or bar recommendations and local sights. Alternatively the keys will be left on a key safe for you.

Pay The Balance

You will be asked to pay the remaining balance of your stay to the contact person. This will be in cash (AUS$) or bank transfer, unless otherwise agreed with the owner. Details of paying the remainder are given on confirmation of your booking request.

Sign The Agreement

You will sign a short term agreement that says you are happy with the apartment, will behave in a reasonable way in the apartment and that you will be liable for any damages if they occur, or extra cleaning charges should the apartment need it.

Security Deposit

As specified at the time of booking you may be asked to leave a security deposit with the contact person. This will be stated on the agreement you sign. It is returned on your departure assuming that there has been no damage to the apartment, or no extra cleaning is required. For some apartments a security deposit is not required as the owner will ask to view photo id and the details of your credit card as security.

Step 3:

Have A Great Time

Celebrate your arrival in Melbourne! … but please remember to respect the neighbors and treat the apartment with due care

Step 4:

Check Out

Before or during your stay a check-out time will be arranged with your contact person. Check out time is no later than 11.00am on the morning of your departure. Your contact person will check the condition of the apartment and providing everything is in order, refund the security deposit.

Step 5:
