Monthly Serviced Residences
Furnished apartments for people between leases, on a contract, or waiting for a renovation to finish. Billed monthly, cleaned weekly, and no bond held for six weeks.
A kitchen, a desk, and a door that locks
These are the flats on floors three to five. They are set up for someone living here, not someone on holiday.
Sizes run from a 38 square metre studio to a 66 square metre one-bedroom with a separate study nook. Every kitchen has a full-size oven, a four-burner cooktop and a fridge with an actual freezer compartment rather than the tiny box under the counter.
Laundry is in each apartment instead of a shared basement. The washing machines are Miele and the dryers vent outside, so clothes dry in one cycle. Broadband is connected to the building and the router sits in the hall cupboard.
38 to 66 square metres
Built for the third week, not the first night
Most serviced apartments are fine for a weekend and wrong by week two, mostly because there is nowhere to put anything. We fitted out these flats with that in mind. Full-height wardrobes, a proper desk with a task chair, and a chest of drawers that isn't hiding inside a wardrobe.
Housekeeping comes once a week on a day you pick. They change linen, clean the bathroom and kitchen, and leave the rest of your things where you put them. If you would rather they didn't come at all, say so and we will take the cost off the bill.
Furniture that lasts
Sofas come from a commercial range because the residential ones fall apart after eighteen months of daily use. Beds have pocket-spring mattresses, not foam.
Bills in one number
Rent covers power, water, internet and the weekly clean. Nothing arrives in your inbox three weeks later with a surcharge on it.
Flexible end date
Give two weeks' notice and leave when your place is ready. Extending works the same way, with no new contract to sign.
What a month costs
Rates are per calendar month including bills. The longer you stay, the lower the nightly equivalent drops, and the third month is where that becomes worth talking about.

The whole thing usually takes four working days.
Tell us the dates
Give us your start date and roughly how long you need. If your end date is uncertain, say that, we work with it.
Pick a floor
We send photos and floor plans of what is free. If you are in Sydney, come and see it, otherwise a video walk-through does the job.
Send ID and a reference
A passport or licence and one reference from a landlord or employer. That is the whole application, with no payslip requirements.
Sign for four weeks
The agreement is a licence rather than a lease. It runs four weeks at a time and renews unless you tell us to stop.
Pay the first month
One month up front, no bond. Card or bank transfer, whichever is easier for you.
Collect keys and the wifi password
Keys are ready at reception from 2pm on your start date. The internet is already connected, so you are online before the kettle boils.
How the flats look empty
Shot before anyone moved in, so you can see what is actually there.
Compact Studio, laid out so the bed isn't the first thing you walk into.
Every kitchen has an oven and a freezer with a real compartment.
The study nook in the One-Bedroom Flat, positioned away from the bed.
Walk-in shower with no step, and a cabinet big enough for a pharmacy run.
Full-height wardrobes that fit a proper amount of clothing.
Laundry sits inside the flat, not down a corridor.
