The location in Brixton is maybe 10 minutes stroll from the tube station. The community is very colourful and life there seems vibrant, multi-cultural and in a rapid process of change (gentrification). Mary's place is in an older building in a family oriented area with plenty of street life. I felt very safe there.The accommodation is simple, clean, the bed was very comfortable and the bedding warm. The facilities were simple and the welcome warm and for London, suitably affordable. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks Mary and Katia
