I have booked an apartment on Adelaide St. Worked out cheaper than a hotel, and i get my own bathroom. I arrive in Perth at 9pm, and then will catch a taxi or a shuttle to Freo.
I have to pick keys up from Arundle st and then go to Adelaide St. It's about 1km. I don't think the shuttle will do both (i haven't checked yet). Is Freo safe enough to walk 1km at 10pm on a Friday night?
Otherwise, i can get a taxi, get them to stop to pick up keys and then take me to the apartment. The shuttle costs $35, and a taxi about $50.
I think it's pretty safe..but sometimes, as anywhere I guess there can be dodgy people around at night. On a Friday night, there should be plenty of people around though. Just keep to main streets.
Weather, evenings can be a little chilly and Freo is usually a bit breezey too..in the day may vary, but a light jumper would probably do the trick I reackon! (right now I just have a short sleeve short on, and 3/4 leggings and we around the area).
Avoid the area around Parry street at any time of day or night, i go there every saturday for my osteopath, and the park there always has "hobos" (to say it politely), drinking, being noisey etc. But if you stick to the main streets, malls you should be fine.
