April was unable to meet us so we met April's sister Denise at the shop next door to the apartment, she showed us into the flat. The fllat was very modern and the perfect size for me and my boyfriend. However, the flat was situated next door to a nightclub, the noise level was unacceptable and as it was London they were open from 11pm till 9am both Friday and Saturday. I was able to sleep through it but it kept my boyfriend up most of the night.
The first night we were there we had no water but this was due to a burst water main in the street outside. It was back on the next morning. One downside was that they had only put one roll of toilet paper in and we had to buy our own when it ran out.
When we left we could leave our luggage down in Denise's shop until our train time which was great for us.
As for the area, we loved Brixton. It has lots of restaurant and cafes on your door step. It is always buzzing at any time of day.
We had a good time in London but the flat could be improved, especially as it isn't cheap.
