Rachel's apartment is super lovely: new, clean, spacious, luminous, it has everything you need. It is located in a very nice area just 3 minutes walk from Brixton tube station (with the Victoria line you can be in Oxford Circus in about 10 minutes!). The area is safe and calm, you can sleep quietly at night. Unfortunately we didn't meet Rachel because she was traveling, but Maria, the cleaning lady who let us in, was very nice to us. Rachel's brother, whom we met a couple of days before leaving, is very nice too. Basically we had the apartment to ourselves for 6 out of 7 days! Although she was thousands of km away from London, Rachel was very helpful and always found the time to answer our texts. To sum up, our stay at Rachel's apartment was simply perfect!
