Mary's place is a real delight: I've stayed at a number of rooms in London, and Mary's is the best-value stay I've encountered. The room is light, airy and comfortable, and I had a really excellent night's sleep. Brixton itself was very fun to discover - with all its cafés, bars and restaurants - and the Tube was in easy walking distance. Best of all, however, was Mary's hosting: easygoing, immensely helpful, and with lots of thoughtful extra touches. Mary is a delight to talk to, and is incredibly welcoming - I can't recommend her place highly enough.
