We had a thoroughly enjoyable five-night stay at Raph’s Linden Garden’s flat. This is our third trip to London this year and Raph’s was our favorite accommodation. Linden Gardens is situated within easy walking distance to the pubs, shops and restaurants the Notting Hill and Kensington neighborhoods and only a few minutes from Hyde Park. The Notting Hill Gate tube station is a three-minute walk which places you conveniently on the Circle, District and Central lines. Raph’s spacious and well-provisioned apartment in this quiet neighborhood makes for an ideal base to enjoy the sites of central London. Finally, Raph was in regular communication with us leading up to our visit and kindly accommodated our challenging travel schedule. As others note, be prepared for a steep ascent to the flat (3rd floor, four flights of stairs). But the accommodations that await are well worth the climb.
