The room is warm and cozy, and the bed was comfortable. There is a little tea station that Elena filled up every day - great when you return from walking around London in the winter! The decoration is done lovingly and with taste. Little details - guide books and a hair dryer in the room were much appreciated. The area is really interesting, and gives easy access to the center of London. There is a market close by, which Elena recommended to us: Brixton Village. It’s got quite a few nice brunch places, little shops, produce stalls, a brewery and a couple of really nice restaurants for dinner as well. This was a hit with us - my husband said that if we ever have to move to London, we should look in Brixton!
Just a few things to note that we didn’t realize until our arrival (though it is noted in the house notes). You share the house with Will, Elena and their young daughter. This means the bathroom is shared. Also, if you are a light sleeper, be aware that the house is not super sound proof. In the morning (~7:30-8) you’ll hear the family wake up: chatter, music, and kiddo. In the evening tv and snoring. One last funny thing was that there seems to be a pretty active projector mounted on one wall in the bedroom. Though it wasn’t projecting, it regularly makes some electronic noises.
Overall though, we had a nice, cozy stay.
