For my review, I am going to split it out into three parts, which is for a family of 3 (2 adults and an infant)
1. Apartment amenities (we stayed for 1 week)
The apartment has all the amenities you need in you have an infant in tow. It is also very organised, and clean (my wife is a bit OCD when it comes to this and even she was impressed by how everything was labelled). Definitely 5 out of 5 here.
2. Location
The apartment is located behind the Tate and Porthmeor Beach. What the photos don't tell you is that the view is obstructed from your living room window. We were under the impression we could have breakfast outside with a view of sea, but this was not the case. All you see is the long term parking lot in front of your house. We were disappointed with how this was "shown" in the pictures, as clearly it does not have sea views (the photos have been taken to give that impression).
In terms of overral location, its very easy to get to the beach from the house (which is a plus), same with the Tate, and Barbara Hepworth house. It is up the hill, so beware if you are not a big fan of walking up steep hills (I find this unavoidable in St Ives so not all that bothered)
Deliveries: this was an absolute nightmare. Not really the fault of the property owner, but nobody seems to really know how to find this place based on the location (the ones provided by the welcome pack via the Orange Roofs app). First delivery took 3hrs, and the second 2hrs. This might be Pandemic related though, as both drivers did tell me they were very short-handed. In any event, if you avoid deliveries and just go to the supermarket, you will be fine.
3. Communication
This was excellent as well. Between the information on the Orange Roofs app, and the email reminders, the process for check-in, finding out how the white goods worked, wifi, etc.. was quite smooth. Having everything on an app is very handy in my opinion.
Overall, I gave it 4 out of 5 because of the view obstruction issue I talked about in point 2. The organisation and cleanliness of the apartment does reduce the overral annoyance with the view situation (which other reviewers have commented on), so I would take that in mind when considering this apartment.
