Rebecca's flat is lovely and well located -- it's on the main road, but because it's set back and on an upper floor, it's quiet and bright. The tube is right down the road, but the buses outside take you anywhere you want to go (and cityplanner or other apps make it super easy to know which buses to take), and Brixton itself is full of fun little places and lots of London history -- make sure to walk down the back streets (and check out PopBrixton for yummy food). We were travelling with our seven year old, and Rebecca's spacious digs meant we had plenty of space without tiptoeing or tripping over each other.
