In a nutshell, the pictures accurately represent the flat and the host is great and very responsive, that said there are some cons that I think are worth highlighting.
Pros: The location is very convenient for the tube and restaurants and once inside the flat it is exactly as pictured and is very stylish and comfortable. Sibs is very responsive.
Cons: What isn’t pictured until check in is the exact location, which is down the back of an alleyway behind a fishmongers. We found people urinating against our access gate and the smell of fish was very unpleasant when walking up to the flat. There are also many steps so be wary of that if you have bags. If I was a single female traveller I’m not sure I would have felt safe getting into the flat after dark, although it is worth noting that nothing bad happened and people we bumped into were generally nice. The door opposite the flat entrance had ‘brothel’ written on it which also concerned us, although saw no evidence of it actually being a brothel. One of the bedrooms faces onto Brixton market where loud music starts playing at between 6-7am everyday.
I hate writing bad reviews, especially since Sibs was so nice and did offer us refunds if we needed to move, but if we had know the above or more about the location in advance it would have changed our decision about staying in this flat, especially considering the price. Also worth adding that I lived in Brixton a few years ago so know the area well and still felt unsafe in this exact location.
