This is a lovely apartment in a fantastic location, with views of the Auckland Harbor Bridge and the water, and just a short walk from many restaurants and from the ferry. We loved the views and the covered balcony where we could sit and enjoy them.
The unit has a kitchen with an oven, stovetop burners, a microwave, a fridge and freezer, and a tiny dishwasher. The dishwasher stopped working after a couple of days, but the Pillo Team reps were responsive and sent up a handyman the next working day. There's a Countdown grocery store conveniently located nearby on Albert Street, where we were able to buy things to cook as well as ready meals.
Some reviews mentioned the mechanical humming noise that can be heard in the bedroom. There was indeed a little hum, but for us it was not a problem. There was a supply of earplugs in the kitchen, but we did not need them.
The only thing that could have been better was the kitchen setup. The equipment was about standard for a rental, but apart from some sachets of coffee and tea and sugar, there were absolutely no other staples — not even salt or pepper. We were there for 10 days, so we bought some salt and pepper grinders; we hope that the cleaners will leave them there for future guests.
