I thoroughly recommend Vanda's place. The room, at the top of the house, is modern, bright, airy and very comfortable. Terrific views over the rooftops towards The Shard. I only stayed one night and only really saw Vanda and Julia briefly. They were very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was provided in the room and this meant I could take my time getting up and keep out of the family's way while they got ready for work and school. I would certainly stay again if I am visiting Brixton again.
