Carolina and Raul's place is amazing. I shared this apartment with another couple and it was very comfortable for the 4 of us. The area is very safe, with transponders to come into the apartment, meaning only residents can come in.

The bedrooms are huge, the beds are really comfortable as well. The rooms are big enough to put the luggages as well. The 2 toilets are clean and well maintained. Carolina and Raul have left ample towels for us to use. The kitchen has almost everything you need in terms of pots and pans, cutleries, condiments. The hosts were so sweet, when we checked in, they prepared fruits, cereals, milk and fruit juices for us. Amazing service which you can't even get in regular hotels. The dining and living area was also really cosy and we spent most of our time there chatting. Our flight was at night, and Carolina was really kind enough to let us leave our luggage till late.

AND have I said the location of this place is AMAZING? You're literally less than 100 steps away from Holland Park Tube Station. This is the red line which goes directly to Marble Arch (for Primark and Selfridges), Bond St & Oxford St (for more shopping).

Notting Hill area is also nearby, with more eateries (Jamie Oliver's restaurant, and many other). Carolina recommended a few eating places like the Ladbroke Arms (fantastic beer), Ottolenghi (very yummy middle eastern food) which were great for us. Around Ottolenghi is a quaint shopping area with cool shops you can't find along Oxford St.

I really will recommend this place. The neighbourhood is simply awesome.
