s a warm and welcoming host who picked us up at the Bull Creek train station on arrival which was very kind. The apartment was exactly as described and photographed. It had everything one needed as a self contained apartment; comfy beds, good linen and bathroom towels etc, equipped kitchen, laundry facility and Karen had provided milk, bread, butter, eggs, condiments and conserves which were greatly appreciated. there are shops, eateries and bottle shop 20 meters away. we were not driving so can report the Public Transport system is excellent and does not pose a barrier. the bus stop is 15 metres away, bus route 170 takes you into the heart of the city where you can catch the free CAT buses over 4 routes all around the city. an alternative is to 170 bus to the train station and catch the train. Both are cheap and take about 25 minutes and are very pleasant. Karen is happy to lend the family bikes for a lovely ride along the beautiful canning River which I did. Lovely walking paths as well. Shelley is a very pretty suburb of Perth. I am very happy to recommend Karen as a host and her great apartment.
