I felt very welcome in Nicola's home where I stayed for a month. It's a nice old Victorian house so the room's a great size with high ceilings and the bed was comfy. Nicola was very friendly - always helpful and quick to respond to any messages I sent her. The house is a good 10-15 min walk from the centre of Brixton so it's close enough to enjoy all the area has to offer in nightlife (check out the Donostia Social Club at Pop Brixton!) but far enough away that it's really quiet and peaceful at night. I'd definitely stay here again.
