The view is truly spectacular, but, for us, it didn't really make up for the noise from the surrounding area at night. There are many bars and clubs in the area and they don't close till 4am. The first night we stayed was a Tuesday and it wasn't bad, just the sound of bottles being collected at 4.30. Last night (Wed) was dreadful between 11pm and 4 am. Didn't hear music, just many, many drunk people yelling and hollering on the street to which both bedroom windows face. Very, very noisy, even though we were so high up. Ended up sleeping in the living room which was much quieter. If you are visiting for a concert or to go out in the area, it probably wouldn't bother you too much, but it wasn't good for us with two kids. Also surprised to see direct and easy access to the three small, narrow balconies, again not the best when you have kids and you're on the 23rd floor. The apartment was clean, but needs more attention to detail - light bulbs burned out, cracked mirror, only 2 bowls in the kitchen, not enough outlets for tv, wifi, lamp, and dvr to be run from the same spot. Parking is very tight in the area, but the covered Wilson parking building just around the corner on Fort St is $18 for overnight parking till 8am, which is pretty reasonable for Auckland. (The uncovered Tournament parking lot, also on Fort St, is $32 overnight). Would love to be able to rate this higher, but it just didn't work for us overall.
