Alexandra's place is lovely. Stylish, quiet, comfortable - and great with kids too, they loved the space they had to play, and the, to our own standards, huge TV screen. :-) Public transport is close-by and gets you to the city center in 35 to 45 minutes, which may seem a bit long, but it never disturbed us - it was also a choice we made beforehand, we chose for a place that was a bit further out but gave us more comfort. Staying at Alexandra's flat also made it easier to discover Brixton, its market and restaurants, and that was certainly a plus. We had a great time, and found it really easy to communicate with Alexandra too.
