I have recently signed a lease on a 1 BR unfurnished (has all the whitegoods – microwave dishwasher fridge washing machine) in a CBD apartment -very close to the Melbourne Central and wish to start a house share with a like minded female around 25+. I am an Indian work for an IT company. The rent is 350 p.w. to be shared amongst the two of us. And yes we will need to buy a bed/matress (or both) and some furniture for the drawing room.
