If you are looking for value and don't mind being a bit out of the way, this is a decent option. It ended up being a bit far for us (couple in early 30s site seeing, took us nearly 45 min each way), but we did spend the last evening in Brixton itself which we wouldn't have done otherwise. The place is small, but probably pretty okay by London standards. Lack of a kitchen/sink/tv was an issue for us but might be ok for you. Paula herself was absolutely lovely though. If you end up taking the place, please don't miss Pop Brixton and Brixton Village which are buzzing with vibrant nightlife on Fri-Sat nights.
