49 St Nicholas Court

49 St Nicholas Court is a one-bedroom apartment in central St Ives, sleeping up to 4. The bedroom has adjoining single beds, and a double futon in the open-plan living area provides the other two sleeping places, so groups of 4 share close quarters across one room.

Sea views reach both the bedroom and the living space. A private garage gives the apartment on-site parking, unusual for such a central location, and one dog is welcome. Host Victoria's listing scores 5 out of 5 for location and 4 for cleanliness, equipment and comfort, though there's no Wi-Fi and no washing machine.

The Tate Gallery is a short walk through streets lined with galleries, cafes and shops, and the South West Coast Path and town centre are both reachable directly from the building. Porthgwidden Beach is 200 metres away, Porthmeor Beach is 300 metres away and St Ives Harbour Beach is 400 metres away. The St Ives guide covers the town's beaches and its artists' colony.

Twenty-seven reviews give the apartment a rating of 4.5. **Best for:** a couple or small family wanting sea views, central St Ives and private parking in a garage. **Less good for:** four adults wanting to avoid a sofa futon, guests relying on Wi-Fi or anyone needing step-free access.
