    Hi Sis! I think I know you from GT? :) Antigone here.

    What we did was book using airbnb.com for a month, and then we looked for a more permanent accommodation na. We looked at FlatmateFinders, Domain.com.au, etc. Medyo mahirap ata pag wala pa dito sa Australia makahanap ng permanent kasi inspection should be done with the property manager.

    We are transferring to a place in North Melbourne (very near CBD) by mid March.

    Hi Sis, yes. Ako nga yun sa GT. :) Kinoconsider din namin yung airbnb. Hindi ba mahirap magrent ng own apartment pag wala pang work?

    Sa amin kasi sis, fortunately, my husband found work agad. Medyo mahirap nga daw kasi wala pa credit rating. Yung ginamit namin na proof is the job offer, ok naman sa Property Manager. Pero otherwise mahirap.
