Mark's property is a 10 minute walk from the centre of Brixton. It is clean and spacious. We had our privacy despite being a shared home, it was not a problem at all.
There is free parking outside of the restricted hours (permit holders only Monday to Friday 8.30am - 5.30pm) so if you are staying for a weekend it is ideal.
We met Mark at a local Cafe and he was friendly and very easy to talk to. He walked us to his home and showed us the amenities. The 'no cooking' rule wasn't an issue for us at all as there are so many fantastic restaurants just a short stroll away. (Rosa's Thai and Burnt Toast Cafe are my recommendations!)
Mark has a good local knowledge and was happy to help us in any way. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
