My host was helpful and friendly and took the trouble to show me the local area, shops and facilities the very next morning after my arrival. The house is ideally situated in a quiet cul de sac in Armadale. The public transport system which includes buses, trams and trains are all close by and within easy walking distance. I had a nice big room with a comfortable single bed, plenty of cupboard space, a desk, bookshelves filled with interesting books and sofa. Internet was available to me at extra cost of AU$ 10 per week. Although I always had my meals out the kitchen facilities were there for to me for use as well as laundry and ironing. I stayed a month and enjoyed every minute of it
