Peaceful attic flat close to Brixton tube station
I am a long-standing Airbnb guest (please see my many reviews) but am just starting out letting out my flat when I am away. This means it is usually my home so it will have some of my husband's and my belongings in it but we'll make plenty of room for you while you are here (so there will be hanger spaces, empty drawers etc.) It's a bright, quiet, slightly bohemian-artsy 1 bedroom attic flat in Brixton, close to the cafes, bars, restaurants of Brixton and Herne Hill and Brixton Tube.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Our place is bright and airy.  It's a bit bohemian so not everything is like it would be in a hotel - e.g. our bathroom sink has a crack in it which we filled, some towels have bleach stains and tea-towels have holes (we honestly prefer it like this) - but we also have 'nice' things, like vintage furniture and accessories (including Ligne Roset Togo chair), granite surface-top in the kitchen and a lovely almost new Eve mattress. The place is ideal for 2, with a double bed, 
Gosh, just Google Brixton - it's brilliant. I've lived here for 40 years off and on and it's changed a lot in many ways and not in others. Like a lot of places, it's increasingly gentrified which means there are some amazing cafes, bars and places to eat etc. It's also a very multi-cultural, inner-city area. And the tube station means you can be in the centre of town in 15 minutes or so. We are also 5 minutes walk to Brockwell Park with its lido, recreation centre, walled garden, cafe etc. and 10 minutes to Herne Hill with a whole lot more cafes, restaurants, bars etc. Great sit-in pizza place (Pizza Brixton) just 2 minutes from our front door if you feel lazy.
I am an academic based at the London School of Economics researching dementia and end of life care. I am also a sometimes photographer/ artist, having studied for an MA Photography and more recently experimenting with etching and print-making. I live with my husband who works on music meta-data and occasionally music docs for the BBC. He is also a musician, playing the double-bass/ bass guitar/ dobro/ lap steel guitar. I have a daughter too, artist and arts administrator/ social media manager. When not travelling alone, I sometimes travel with one or the other. We none of us smoke, we are (mostly) vegetarian and we're all of us tidy, responsible, quiet and friendly.
