This listing exemplifies Airbnb at its finest. A real home with a soul for the thoughtful and considerate visitor.
First the logistics. This home is about a ten minute walk from the Brixton subway and train stop. This places it in a quiet, family friendly neighborhood while still walking distance to the vibrance of Brixton and within a reasonable commute of all of London. The Victoria line serves Brixton, with 24 Hr service on weekends so you can enjoy the nightlife to your content. The hosts impose no curfews.
The space. The details on here are accurate to the T. It’s one room, with a sofa that can be turned into a bed if needed. There’s a bathroom right outside the room which is exclusively for guests’ use. When I stayed here, I was welcome to use the kitchen and laundry facilities.
As I mentioned, the listing is accurate. What it doesn’t mention though is the kindness, thoughtfulness and warmth of the hosting family. Shadé’s family were so nice to me, they simultaneously made me feel like I belong and deeply miss my family. Thank you Shadé to you and yours. May you be richly blessed.
