Nestpick: Our review

Nestpick is a European online accommodation business where students can pick their accommodation before arriving. Nestpick have branched out into the Australian market.

Students have a hard time finding housing in Melbourne's CBD. This was mentioned in a report which we will talk about in the near future.

Using the site
It is easy to use, but the only thing is the prices are in European dollars. But they will soon have a currency converter on their site. You pick a property, pay the deposit and then move in.

There is a map of all the suburbs and they will tell how far away it is from the city. This is good for students who have to study in the city

Student's worries with the online system
Online sites such as Gumtree.com and Flatmate finders often have scams and sometimes students have to deposit some money before coming to the house. There is no verification system.

Nestpick has a verification system. Nestpick have their own photographer who verifies the advertisements by visiting the sites and taking photos themselves. But there is still the worry of picking the right flatmates. But luckily though Nestpick has a form in which you fill out about what your ideal housemate would be and they match that.

Do visit Nestpick to find the right house that suits you and your budget.
