Pros:
- Laila is welcoming without being overbearing - she got us acquainted with the flat and then left us to it, respecting our privacy and independence.
- The space is clean, airy with a sort of minimalist aesthetic.
- An EXCELLENT shower.
- Location is fantastic - just minutes from the tube station plus lots to enjoy in Brixton itself.
Cons:
- Not the best room for light sleepers - the windows overlook a busy market street, which is lively, but it means lots of banging around early in the morning as stallholders set up. Bring earplugs!
- The minimal aesthetic was maybe slightly too minimal - the mattress on the floor wasn't the comfiest. A second mattress or a bed frame would be an improvement.
