Merle's place was just an described. Clean, cozy and in the heart of Brixton not far from the tube. I needed to extend my stay by one day and she even accommodated my request, which I greatly appreciated! Only con is that the building walls are not sound proof so you can hear everything, especially sounds from the neighbors upstairs. But if you are out most of the day as I was, it will not pose too much of a problem. Overall I highly recommend!
