Ima was fantastic. She showed me how to get around on the first day and was very helpful all throughout the three weeks I spent at her home. The pictures in the listing are quite accurate. The room was very large and very clean, as was the bathroom and kitchen. There are two bathrooms, which makes things easier. It is true that if you are looking for luxury, this is not the place. If you are looking for nice people, a nice personal space to stay in, and a community feeling, this is your place. The area is up and coming. At first I was worried about the area due to what friends had said, but in the end I felt quite safe there and had absolutely no problems walking home two and from the bus stop day or night. There is a nice park across the way, and quick and easy access to interesting Brixton and Stockwell. It was easy to get into the city center - a 3 minute walk to a bus, which takes you right to the tube station (Oval) in about 7 minutes. I could get into London city center in 30-40 minutes, and sometimes less, depending on where I was going. I would stay with Ima again in a heartbeat. I felt very welcome there.
