On the day we arrived I messaged Laila because I didn't know when we would arrive and she was very quick to respond and offered that we could decide when we wanted to check in.

When we arrived in Brixton at night her flat was really easy to find thanks to her directions. Laila was incredibly welcoming and friendly and immediately showed us the room (which was exactly as shown on the picture) and handed us the keys and a sheet with relevant information (such as wifi password). She explained to us how to work the keys and how to fill out the breakfast menu.

Speaking of breakfast, having an actual menu to choose from was amazing and the food Laila prepared in the morning was delicious. Both of us who stayed in this room were enjoying it very much. The street she lives in is very lively during the day; there is a market going on and everything. The windows are pretty good though, so if you want to sleep you're not disturbed by the noise, or at least we weren't.

The bed was comfy, Laila put water and towels and toiletries next to it and we had everything we needed. Since the flat is shared, we met the flatmate in the hallway but no one bothered us. The bathroom is shared by everyone, but it's clean and tidy.
