We know it is frustrating to apartment hunt, and especially when you don’t get good photos on the Internet beforehand. Furnished Property is in the process of creating walk-through videos for all of our properties around Sydney so that you get the best idea you can about a place before getting to our office. Have a quick peek at this furnished Bondi apartment, and let us know what you think!

Like most international students and travellers, it is hard to imagine Sydney without picturing its amazing coastline with gorgeous beaches. And just like that, it is no surprise that our Bondi Beach and Coogee properties are hot items during the Australian summer!

Imagine yourself coming back from work, grabbing your sunscreen and beach towel and running off to the beach for a relaxing evening. This could be every night (weather permitting of course) if you should choose a beach apartment location for a Sydney summer stay.

Right now, Furnished Property has numerous Coogee Beach apartments ready for renting.

Our cosy two-bedroom units are large enough to room up to 4 friends or two couples quite comfortably.

If interested in learning more about this Coogee Beach apartment, or one similar, be sure to give our office a call to book a tour. With a fully furnished beach flat, life in Sydney just doesn’t get much better.

We all know that backpacker accommodation in Sydney is an awesome way to find a temporary home on a short trip to Sydney. But, when you’re coming to Sydney for studying, a working holiday, or an extended visit, is Furnished Property’s short-term accommodation in Sydney a better option?

We certainly like to think so, and to prove our point, we have decided to put together this post on why our short-term accommodation options are so much better than backpacker accommodation in Sydney.

Costs Less – The amount of money you spend per week on a small, hostel bed in a crowded dorm room downtown Sydney can end up costing you more than you think. It can even cost you more money than some of our great, spacious and fully furnished rooms!

More Privacy – In a guest house, or shared house, with Furnished Property, you have the option to share with one or two other people, or get a room by yourself! Did you need a little more privacy than that 10 bed dorm in downtown Sydney? Or, were you looking for more sleep without others constantly disrupting it? If so, our short-term accommodation in Sydney will be just what you need!

Fewer People – Along with having fewer people in your sleeping area, our short-term accommodation options around Sydney can get you more space in the kitchens, bathrooms and common areas! Don’t you hate when you want to cook dinner, but you either have to dance around people, or wait for them to just finish their own meals?

Not only that, but while in backpacker accommodation around Sydney you may have to deal with people partying any night of the week. Now, we’re definitely not saying that there won’t be parties in our shared accommodation options, but you will find that you will be surrounded by more like-minded individuals. Most of our tenants are those here on working holiday and student visas, so if you’re needing a place to study or get a good night’s before work, then we will have a place that suits you!

How short is our short term accommodation in Sydney?

Glad you asked! The shortest stay is only a 1 month commitment in one of our shared houses / guest houses. If you are looking for residential options, the minimum stay is only 3 months! Besides this, all accommodation is fully furnished and ready to go. Just give us a call and we’ll help you get sorted.

What are your thoughts, Furnished Property tenants? Do you think our short term accommodation options are better than backpacker accommodation in Sydney, or not?

It’s 6am.

Just at 5:59, you were fast asleep in your cosy little bed, dreaming wonderful dreams without the slightest bit of stress or drama to worry your head. Now, however, its 6am and you’re woken up by the sound of a screaming alarm clock, but it’s not yours… it’s your roommate’s!

Oh, the joys of living in the same room as someone else. Sure, you get to share the rent, but that cost could come with a lot of other drama that will leave you screaming, “I need a Single Room in Sydney!” Thankfully, you’ve come to the right place because Furnished Property understands that having a single room in Sydney is better than sharing for many reasons, and here’s why:

Privacy! Privacy can cost quite a bit in some cities. Having a single room in Sydney can allow you to do what you want, and when you want it, without annoying your roommate.

You can decorate the walls the way you want, get up as late or as early as you want, listen to whatever music you want, wear as much or as little clothing as you want, and smell as bad or as good as you want.

Yep, you can clean as little or as often as you want, talk on the phone as loudly or softly as you want, and let’s face it – bring whoever or whatever back home with you.

With a single room in Sydney, you can have the privacy to be as calm or wild as you want (BUT within reason if you want to get the bond back) – without disturbing the life of a roommate.

Finding a Single Room in Sydney

Don’t worry! Even though finding a single room in Sydney is difficult, you’ve come to the right spot! The Furnished Property Group has a number of fantastic, and fully furnished, single rooms in Sydney, ready for you to rent right now!

Choose from studios, one bedrooms, or single rooms in shared accommodation (guesthouses). Just give us a call, and we’ll put you in a single room in Sydney, ASAP!

Whether in shared housing or private apartments, there is generally always the issue of having to deal with loud neighbours at one point or another. The question I am posing to you is this: “How do YOU deal with it?”

Sometimes the problem is a group of younger tenants having a loud party, or it could be an old lady with bad hearing watching TV. Perhaps your neighbours are doing some renovation work, or maybe they are having an argument. Any of these situations can become quite annoying at odd hours of the day, so what to do?

Generally, people stick to these three procedures:

1) Keep it all in. What this means is the person being annoyed just takes it without giving any feedback to the loud neighbour(s). Sometimes, such a person will complain to other people about the problem, but never get the courage to take it to where it counts. Other people in this category choose to give no feedback because they understand that dealing with loud neighbours is just a part of living in apartments, especially if they also want to have the occasional party or two.

2) Contact the neighbour. If the noise is too bothersome, some people will take the time to phone the neighbour (if they have the number), or even knock on their door to ask them to quiet down. This can sometimes be viewed as a more confrontational approach, but generally effective.

3) Straight to a higher authority. To avoid the confrontation, but get the job done, some bold tenants will take it directly to a higher power – the landlord or even the coppers! Some people do this after countless confrontations without a resolution, while others go directly to this method. I may be going out on a limb here, but I would think most people would enjoy a phone call first before jumping to this method.

Which do you choose? Take this poll and let us know your method of dealing with noisy neighbours.

Can you think of other ways to get your neighbours to quiet down? Also, what happens if the noise is not coming from your neighbours, but from flatmates??? Leave us a comment below!
