The room is extremely spacious for London standards and the place, including the shared bathroom, was very clean. There is no lock on the bathroom door, but as everybody follows the rule of "if the door is shut, there is someone in there", that is absolutely no problem. The location could not be better. It is a maximum two minutes walk to the tube, and Brixton is the last stop on the line, so you always get a seat. You are at Oxford Circus in about 10 minutes, but there are also enough restaurants and shops around to have a great day in Brixton. Yes, there is a market right outside the window that can be noisy in the morning, but that's just part of the London experience, and it saves you setting an alarm as well. Overall, I could not have been happier with my stay.
