December visitor who would be happy to meet you! (Adelaide)

Hi everyone,
I'm very excited about my first-ever trip to Adelaide and to Australia. I'll be there Protected content . During that time, a few days will be for a conference at Flinders Uni. I'm looking for a self-contained apartment in the city and more importantly, eager to meet Internations members. Any advice on good areas in which to rent, as well as Internations and other events, would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much and look forward to your replies!
