I used to live in London ages ago and stayed this time for 3 nights. Laila has a lovely and well appointed large room which is really handy for Brixton tube - i.e. the Victoria line which runs North to South and is the most reliable of all tube lines. The room has a couch as well as a small table and nice lighting for dealing with emails etc before bed. The mattress is comfortable and choice of duvet, blanket cosy and just right. When I arrived I was offered fennel tea. I was so tired and it never tasted better. Breakfast is offered on the first morning only from a range of regular eggs etc on nice bread; I chose my favourite vanilla oatmeal with blueberries. It was nicely made and presented. Laila has a little toddler but she is really well behaved and quiet. Laila's style is discrete and respectful of personal space. I like that. Brixton is lively - some mornings there is a fruit, veg etc market on Electric Avenue. It's not noisy every morning, but you have to expect a bit of noise. I'm an early riser and have plenty to get out and do, so I don't mind. Late at night ie before midnight, it is so near the tube, I am female and was not worried. However, as anywhere I would just say that if you are going out to perhaps let the host know when to expect you. If you find the exterior door a little stiff, you can ring her to nip down and let you in. All in all a good place and space in London!
