Vanda was very kind. The upstairs guest room was clean on arrival and private throughout our visit. Vanda did a wonderful job stocking the room with travel guides for the most widely enjoyed tourist destinations to others you would never think of visiting. Best yet, she has Oyster cards on standby so you don't need to buy them if you're visiting. While I admit Brixton is likely not the number one hub for tourists to stay in London, the neighborhood was quiet, but had a fabulous pub down the street that had jazz music playing almost every night. Definitely a sweet spot.
