We didn't get a chance to meet Maya but our stay in her apartment was great and she was really helpful to us with tips and info sent by email. The bed was huge and comfy, the bathroom and kitchen were clean, and the other housemates made us feel very welcome. The location is pretty good, just a few tube stops from Victoria station. And although Brixton is supposed to be a dodgy area we had no problems. I would definitely recommend staying with Maya.
