Helen's place is as described and was a great spot for me and 3- 20 something kids to spend the week. It was really close to everything in Brixton including stores, transportation, great neighboring neighborhoods and a beautiful park a few blocks away. We really enjoyed having a garden (got very lucky with great weather) and a very well equipped kitchen. Only thing to note (which is mentioned in the description) is that internet does not reach the upstairs of the house. Overall, a great stay!
