When I told Mark that I was in London to do research for a book I'm writing—a creative endeavor—he assured me I had come to the right place. And he was right. Mark was a thoughtful and welcoming host, happy to offer tips or offer me a glass of wine when I came back from a long day in the archives. I truly appreciated his openness. We had long chats about art, politics, etc., and I enjoyed learning about his photography practice, which was inspiring. The Airbnb is conveniently located across the street from the neighborhood pub and Sainsbury's, and just a 8-10 minute walk from downtown Brixton where you can catch the tube. A great place to stay outside of the hub of central London that comes with a local's perspective and wisdom. Highly recommended!
