Most London places I know are tiny, not very tidy, and, the Londoners themselves never laughing. However, staying with Sonya is the correct opposite. She likes to laugh and to joke, her home has space, is clean and perfectly furbished and decorated with many design "wow"-objects. The bed is comfortable, the place as quiet as London can be, and to get there is easy – as the bus station is right in front of the entrance. (:
And even if you look for an area to eat, to shop, to walk, to watch cricket, to go out: Brixton is very right for all this.
We really enjoyed the stay.
