search apartment" and that part is not looks no easier than before. It is true that Melbourne, 1000 people looking to settle a week I let you imagine the state of real estate! agencies have adapted to this growing demand and operate with whirlwind tour of 15 minutes per flat. It's a real treasure hunt for housing and must run constantly for a chance to do two or three visits that day. I begin my first visit on a Saturday morning and makes me very quickly that I am not alone in seeking the lucky ones: five minutes before the visit, a queue of about twenty people in the winding staircase that leads to the apartment to visit, although it promises . Once the key in the door, a veritable gold rush which undertakes, who is visiting the apartment and fill his application form first. A real madness!
You imagine that with such a demand, prices are not given, the first prices start at $ 250/semaine and hope to have sthg to correct it should at least make $ 300 which equates to about 850 € / month for T2. We spend three weeks to go, more and more disappointed by the condition of housing: no heating (but if it's cold here, even Australians do not seem to know), kitchens and rooms Bathrooms in poor condition. ... short, not terrible, we did not even ask for the application yet. Baptiste on vacation soon and I can not see myself moving taxi (for those who did not know I missed the permit before leaving, oops). Good
back to our apartments rage, we meet a qqus application sheets for an evening of apartments that we have not visited, and then everything comes together very quickly after an initial refusal, we are accepted for an apartment unknown.
We decided to give it a shot, after a brief orientation places, the neighborhood we like it, we will move in a week . Tension mounts, but what you're gonna fall!?! Was this wise?!? What was our surprise, we have a cute apartment, the ground floor with a small terrace and even a mini garden.
