his is a great place to stay for people who are looking for a bustling, lively neighborhood, have no mobility issues (stairs with no lift) and don't mind an urban scene just outside their place. The flat overlooks a local market and there are countless great restaurants with a variety of food within minutes of walking--as is the Brixton Tube stop.
The pros: beautifully decorated flat, very responsive and warm host and comfortable, stylish environment, diverse and rich community. The cons: Definitely don't look for the place at night, very difficult to figure out how to get in with the code box (numbers not lit or well marked); since the place is just adjacent to a fish market, there is an odor of fish but also there is a significant garbage smell from the bins (because they are, well, bins). I would definitely stay here again, especially since I now know how to get in and out easily but families with young children should be aware that there are multiple steps both inside the flat and out--as well as anyone who has issues with mobility.
