I stayed with Lydia & Alex because of the proximity to the Brixton Electric where I was invited to celebrate Nepali New Year with my friend from Kathmandu who was playing there. It was a great opportunity to explore a neighbourhood of London which I didn't know yet.
Lydia and Alex were very welcoming and their home is a lovely warm place. The street can be a bit loud but earplugs are provided and I slept like a log in a fantastic bed.
The location is superb to explore Brixton and public transport to the centre of London is very near, frequent and easy.
Unfortunately my stay was cut short due to the passing of my dad. Lydia & Alex were great in comforting and calming me down (special strong tea, thank you) and helping me to the train station for a sad journey back.
The remaining night was refunded before I even got to Belgium which was the least of my worries but ever so thoughtful!
It was an absolute delight staying with them.
I will be back; still need to meet the dog who was away at granny's. And I am looking forward to meeting the new member of their family. xxx
