Pros:
Maria was nice, greeted us and showed us around. After she left, she answered questions fairly quickly.
The place is roomy and well lit. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is okay.
Cons:
While Maria said to make ourselves at home, it felt more like sleeping over at a friends house than an "entire rental unit". Her stuff was everywhere. We had to clear the table so we could eat and work. The kitchen counter had stuff all over so we had to rearrange everything just to get a bit of counter space. The half-size fridge was half full so we could not store much there.
The bathroom was also cluttered (toothbrush, toothpaste, makeup) but we managed to clear a bit of counter space.
The lighter on the gas stove is broken so you have to light it manually with a lighter. When I mentioned this to the host, she just said it was "old school".
I gave the location 5 stars because the description was accurate (very close to the center of Brixton) but it is on a busy road so not quiet. The bedroom is at the back of the building and is quiet as long as there isn't a block party going on.
