Raul & Carol's place is in the sweetest location from which to base a London visit. There are a variety of restaurants, shops, markets and transportation less than a block away in a charming, safe area that we loved coming home to after a long day of exploring. You're also a short walk from Portobello Road Market and the shops and restaurants of Notting Hill. All in all, just a fabulous location.
The flat is very comfortable, quiet, comfy beds with soft duvets, great views with lots of windows, friendly neighbors, and Raul and Carol are extremely communicative and attentive throughout the visit. There are two bathrooms but no toilet in the en suite so while it's nice to have two showers (one in a tub), you'll be sharing one toilet. The unit is on the top floor at one end of the building so feels nice and private and there's an elevator.
There are no extra linens in the flat. If you need additional sheets or towels beyond the full sets that are in place upon arrival, these are provided by a service for an additional fee and coordination of delivery. For stays of longer than a week, Raul and Carol will also coordinate a cleaning service that requires an additional fee and takes 3 hours, as well. (While there's laundry in the flat, the dryer is really not efficient so laundering your own sheets and having them dry to put back on the bed on the same day is not an option. There's a drying rack which is great for clothing, though.)
The kitchen has everything you'll need with espresso machine and french press for coffee, loads of options on the TV, and current London travel books.
Our family of three so appreciated Raul and Carol's hosting style, loved the location of the flat and were completely comfortable there for two weeks. Will definitely come back!
