The accommodation was great and exactly as described and shown in photos. Great views, access to entertainment brilliant, and so easy to get around the CBD. The Pillo team was also very responsive to questions.
The only downside to the apartment, and you are warned about it, is when cruise ships are docked on the wharf you have absolutely zero harbour view except into the ship's cabins and the constant engine noise was unexpected.
Overall, the place was great and we would likely book again. We did check the cruise ship schedule on the Port of Auckland website, which showed we had at two of our 4 days free of cruise ships, but the schedule changed while we were there and we only had less than a day of no cruise ship.
Also, note that there is no luggage storage if you need it on the weekend, as the facility recommended by Pillo isn't open on Saturday or Sunday which was bizarre. We had to walk our luggage across town on our last day to find storage for our bags.
