Default Furnished apartment melbourne

Hi,

I'm sure this has prob been asked before however I couldn't find it in the search bar so I apologise if this has been asked before.

I'm looking for a fully furnished apartment and I have found some good ones online, but before I send them all my money I want to see if anyone has had any problems with a certain company or if they could recommend a good company?

I know a lot of them could be scams so any help would be much appreciated

Anyone rented from corporate keys? There website seems promising but it's hard to find reviews

Don't know if this helps Jaida, but Corporate Keys have a Facebook page that has a media article about the company. They seem legit.

Depends how you pay them I suppose. When people book accommodation with us we normally take the deposit via paypal which offers protection to the buyer.

I think credit card companies offer similar.

Are you looking for short term or long term? If long term, then they definitely charge more.

I would be very careful about using Paypal. It is the source of a large number of scams.

Yes you're right. Sending cash in the post is far safer.

Getting back to Docklands service apartments, I know of people who have used these (nice pics on website) but probably more for a short stay or long stay, will post it if any use:

http://www.docklandsservicedapartments.com.au/

I also know a few people who have used and recommended Saville apartments who have a few CBD locations east of Docklands, but again probably too expensive for other than a short stay.

I found these too:
