Matt and I stayed with Christina and Mike for one week while we waited for the purchase of our first home together.

We had lived in Brixton for four years but had never found the delights of Holmewood Gardens! What a lovely surprise to find a gem of a residential area so close to the main transport link between Streatham and Brixton. The area was calm and peaceful, the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Matt and I stayed for accommodation only, while working long hours during the week. We were able to come and go as we needed and never made to feel like we were disturbing Christina a Mike.

The room was very comfortable - we had everything we needed, home from home and were able to use the kitchen and living room for drinks and lovely evening chats.

The room is at the rear of the flat on another level from the main living space, with its own bathroom. As a result it felt like its own independent flat so we could maintain our privacy and could all get up and out in the morning with no queue for the bathroom!

We have to note that the bed is so comfortable - we really slept well throughout our stay.

We would strongly recommend this room for others and hope very much to keep in touch with our hosts in the future.

Thank you both!
