Vanda and Julia are lovely, generous hosts who go that little bit further in providing a comfortable stay.
Their terrace house is in a quiet street not far from bustling Brixton, an easy and gentle walk to the tube and the plethora of great eateries in the area.
The attic room they have just renovated for guests is a great space, roomy and bright with velux windows as well as large French window looking over the rooftops. Although it is a few flights of stairs to get up to the room, a new bathroom right beside the bedroom means that the guest area feels very private, although the hosts offered the option of breakfasting with them or just a shared cup of tea if you wanted to be more social!
Little extras like tea making facilities, fresh milk and bottled water, as well as a bowl of fruit, topped off by a comfortable bed and new pillows, provide a stay that is just that little bit above and beyond similar priced properties.
I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
