Q. I am encountering some technical problems and am unable to book online. Is there another way to submit my booking?

Of Course! Our Reservations Team can handle bookings manually over the phone, through email.

Q. Are Apartment Stays Melbourne apartments available to individuals?

Yes, we welcome reservations from individuals as well as from private, government and not for profit organisations

Q. Do I need to provide an exact vacate date, what if I am not sure?

In the majority of instances, when leasing one of our furnished apartments, you will need to nominate a termination date of the License to Occupy agreement. A minimum of thirty five days prior to the agreed termination date, our staff will contact you to discuss your intentions. Your options will be to:

• Confirm departure on the original agreed date
• Request an extension of your license agreement term. In most instances, extensions can be accommodated and we will always do our utmost to find a solution for you even if it means not remaining in the same apartment post your agreed date. Extensions are solely at the discretion of Apartment Stays Melbourne.

The alternative is that you commit to an agreed minimum license to occupy period and you may give a minimum of 28 days notice to vacate at anytime, so long as you do not vacate prior to the agreed date in your agreement. This works well with project teams that know for example that the minimum period may be 4 months but ultimately they could be here for over one year.

Q. Can I live with friends / colleagues?

Yes of-course. There are two ways this can happen:

1. We have many buildings in which we have more than one furnished apartment. Subject to availability, you and your friend/s or colleagues can book more than one apartment in the same building and in some instances, even on the same floor
2. We have many 2 bedroom furnished apartments. These are the most economical way to stay. You and your chosen ‘house mate’, could lease a 2 bedroom furnished apartment and have one bedroom each whilst sharing the living areas
   Two bedroom apartments may also be leased by up to 6 people in some instances. Some of our more budget conscious guests, team up in a group of 3, 4, 5 or even 6. We can configure bedrooms with bedding to accommodate any of these combinations.
