| Location, Location, Location. What a quaint neighborhood just around the corner from the Underground, buses and cabs. So easy to get anywhere. Banks, stores and restaurants, not to mention the famous markets of Portobello Road all close by. The apartment was spacious with room for the 7 of us and plenty of common spaces. We had some missing luggage and the telephone for local calls came in handy. Sarab was very accommodating and responsive to requests. Perfect for our first trip to London. |

My husband and I stayed at Linden Gardens with our two young children and his brother for a week in May 09. Sarab has been a wonderful host for our stay in his apartment at Linden Gardens. The apartment is very spacious, well equipped and perfectly located at Notting Hill. It's a perfect place for large party, especially with young kids since there's plenty of room for them to run around. (They even have highchair and crib.) Sarab has made himself avaiable to answer our questions during our stay and was very responsive. We were having problem with the shower, but Sarab was able to get it fixed timely. My overall experience is very positive. I would not hesitate to go back and stay there.

We have just returned from our great Christmas Holiday in London. The apartment was just wonderful. The beds are comfortable and warm, the kitchen was well equipped and functional. We were able to celebrate Christmas Day with our whole family (17 of us!!) in the apartment without falling over each other. There were 5 adults and 2 children staying in the flat and it was more than adequate in terms of space and comfort.
Most importantly, however, was the graciousness of the owner, Sarab Monib. He made a special trip to the flat so that we could retrieve a bag we had left inside.
The location is great, easy walking from tube or bus and plenty of stores and restaurants close by.
I would stay there again in a heart beat. |

| The apartment is spacious and extremely well located. We are a famiily of four and it was wonderful to have space to lounge and a great kitchen for light meals. Internet access was a huge plus along with the tube access within a few minute walk. We were able to reach all of our destinations using the tube including in and out of the airport. Notting Hill is a great location and we would stay here again. |

| FANTASTIC place - we were travelling with another familiy with a total of 4 teenage boys and 3 adults and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. The flat is spacious, the neighborhood was safe for our boys at night to be on their own, and Sarab was a gracious host. Loved the free wireless internet (I paid 20 pounds earlier in the week at a Sheraton!) and the close access to the Tube and bus lines - would definitely rebook and recommend to others. Lots of great restaurants, pubs, and wonderful retro stores in the neighborhood which we really enjoyed. |

| Sarab was a gracious host, a pleasant and kind gentleman understanding our circumstances of early arrival to the apartment and making do the best we all could at the time. We stayed from April 4 (Easter Sunday) to April 13, 2007, arriving early Sun morning with Sarab and his family meeting us at the apartment. The apartment was in a great location just several minutes walk from the Nottinghill Gate tube stop, Notting Hill, Kensington gardens, and lots of great cafes, restaurants, and grocery. The furnishings are accurately represented by the pictures on the website, had beds for our family of six, two nicely appointed bathrooms and a kitchen stocked with all the essential cookware and dishes for all of us. The entry way was just below street level, but, well lighted and in a safe and quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. We felt quite safe here at all hours coming and going or just sitting in the apartment. We would stay here again on a return visit to London. |

Linden Gardens is very close to the bus stop and tube but yet quiet at night and comfortable. It's very close to Portabello market so you can get up early and beat the crowds.
We very much enjoyed walking to Kensington Park on Sunday morning and walking through to Round Pond where the were sailing radio controlled sail boats. (Be sure and bring some bread to feed the ducks and swans.) The pond is right in front of Kensington Palace. then you can go through the park to The Albert memorial across the Albert Hall and then to all the museums. We very much enjoyed the Victoria Albert museum (and it's donation basis) and the cafe was a great place for tea.
There are a wide variety of restaurants very close. We would highly recommend this property. |

| We highly recommend staying at this property. The owner was outstanding to work with. He responded quickly to all questions we had and returned our deposit immediately. The apartment is conveniently located to the Underground station, which is really nice after walking so much during the day. It is a quiet neighborhood and we felt very safe. The amenities were nice. There was plenty of room for all seven of us staying there. It was far better than any hotel I have stayed at in London. |

| Staying at Linden Gardens, Notting Hill...was an awesome idea for our holiday.. We rented this hip place for a week and have been dying to go back since... the flat was great in all respects.. trendy, spotless, and organized - with its chic decor it made upscale living the week through. Close proximity from the flat to a array of exquisite dining, nightlife, shopping at Oxford and Regents Street , and public transit like the Tube and Buses made getting to all the fun stuff a breeze. We enjoyed peaceful sunset walks at Hyde park which is also within a short walking distance through Lady Diana's Kensington estate. After these nice walks, we often enjoyed a cup of coffee at this wonderful cafe' that her highness Lady Diana herself frequented ... All through the stay, we didn't have to worry about renting a car or hiring a cab even from/to the airport.. We intend to make this our holiday spot every year….. |
