Having lived in Brixton some 20 years ago, I have to say that Catherine's place is anything a couple of travellers can desire.
A very quite side street off Brixton Hill Road, a 10' walk from Brixton's town centre, full of cool and trendy places to eat and hang out, and a 10' walk from Brockwell Park, one of my favorite spots in South London.
The room is large, and brand new, with large windows overlooking a row of well-groomed back gardens. The bed is large and really comfortable and there's also a convertible sofa which came really handy when my kids were both there with me together.
Catherine is both really welcoming and discreet, a guest like you'd like to meet overtime.
So if you want to see lesser known part of London, don't hesitate to call on Catherine's place. This is a place to know.
