Apartments in Melbourne?

Travel Info
I will be moving to Melbourne, Australia, and need to find a cheap, but safe apartment. I will be there for 6 months, hence wanting something quick and convenient (one bedroom/studio) Looking to pay anywhere from 200 - 300 / week.
I have looked up rent.com.au and domain.com.au..
Does anyone know of other websites? Thank you.

Travel Tips

you can go to www.realestate.com.au, go on "rentals" and give in name of suburb or just the postcode.

for that period of time, you might be best to find a serviced apartment, or share house. I think you may find it very difficult to get a lease for only 6 months due to the shortage of rental properties in Melbourne.

Try www.gumtree.com.au or www.realestate.com.au for share house and www.qualityinn.com.au for serviced apartments
I would check out those websites that were mentioned too, but don't limit yourself to the cbd. If you can find a place that is near a train station, then you never 20 minutes away from anywhere. I recomend the share house too, at least that way you could get some local knowledge.

There are some suburbs that are best avoided, but by and large, Melbourne is a pretty safe place. I've lived in the so called less disirable places, but I never felt threatend.

you submit your profile and it matches you to people you are compatible with and you choose the place to live in.
