When I read the word “cosy” in Mayas AirBnB listing, I immediately thought “small” or “cramped.” But since the house was very convenient to my work, I went ahead and put in a booking request.
In an actual fact, I was pleasantly surprised to find the house is a spacious, charming Victorian terrace house with a beautiful garden and a wonderfully welcoming friendliness.
Maya was delightfully congenial and went way beyond the call of duty in
making sure everything was to my liking and comfort.
Not only that, she graciously took the time from her crowded schedule to give me a lively guided tour of Brixton, pointing out local landmarks and filling me in on the history behind them, the bustling arcade markets and one assembled from shipping containers. Perhaps most importantly she took me to the café considered to have the best coffee in Brixton (very important to espresso addicts like me).
My stay was definitely AirBnB at its most halcyon.
You'll be very fortunate if Maya has vacancies when you want to visit this uniquely vivacious area of South London.
