What a great find, central to all we wanted from St Ives. Although small, everything we needed inside the property was there and everything worked. There is the potential to have some disruption if you have noisy neighbours above, we didn't, but TV could clearly be heard. This did not detract from our stay – we loved our little home from home which was great value for the area. Host was very responsive with communication – thanks.

Very nice and cosy little apartment. Clean and tidy. Had all the basic equipment you might need. Very friendly and helpful landlord. The landlord was very easy to reach and not least prompt when we needed their help. In addition, the general info was very good with good instructions and necessary info by email in advance of your stay and in addition its own book with all desirable info available in the apartment. Very professional. Only minus must be that the bathroom was very small. The apartment also had a slightly raw basement smell that probably comes from moisture. But overall the place was very good and I could imagine going back.
