Marilena was a warm and kind host. I was welcomed with coffee (and even a hangover-curing smoothie after a night of drinking!). She accommodated some check in issues, which were completely my fault, effectively and with grace. The apartment is clean, the bedroom warm and comfortable, it looks exactly as it is in the photos. The apartment is a couple of minutes from access to two tube lines (including one to Shoreditch) and is walkable to Brixton, an intriguing and gentrifying multicultural neighbourhood. Marilena understood what I was looking for on my trip and gave me some excellent recommendations. My stay was perfect and I do hope our paths cross again in future.
