Ryan and Elisa's was a great base for exploring the diverse, eclectic neighborhood of Brixton and other areas of London. It would be the perfect fit for a solo, independent traveler. The room itself is lovely, as indicated, but my mother and I found the house to be old, noisy and a bit uninviting. Would have loved to have met the hosts/cohosts and feel more welcomed in the space. Overall, though, it's a great place.
