My husband and I really enjoyed staying at Shannon's place. It was close to everything so we could walk everywhere. The Queen Victoria Market is so close that we went a few times. I was able to get some souvenir type items there and we bought some food from several of the vendors. The American Doughnut Kitchen food truck had great tasting warm filled doughnuts!! We didn't realize where the free tram zone was until our last full day there so we took it straight down to the Docklands by the river and ate at a restaurant called Cargo on the water that was very good. The views from the apartment balcony were great since we could see the park next door and also the river could be seen in the distance. I wish we could have stayed there longer to see more of the area since this was our first trip to Australia!!
