We only stayed with Laila for 1 night, but she made us feel really welcome and it was a pleasure to stay in her home. On arrival she pointed out some of the best places to eat which was really helpful as we weren't that familiar with the area, other than the fact that the O2 Academy was nearby. This was actually our primary reason for staying in Brixton as we were due to go to a gig the same evening and, very conveniently, Laila's place was only a 5 minute walk from the venue.

The room itself was very spacious and nicely decorated, whilst all of the essentials (shampoo, towels etc.) were provided for us. Laila even made us breakfast in the morning which was a real plus!
