The neighbourhood of Herne Hill is very friendly, fun and safe. You are on a semi-pedestrianised street, so there's almost no traffic noise and with you on the square is a bookshop, the station, two cafes, a coffee shop, a restaurant and some shops. Tesco and Sainsburys are just on the other side of the station. Beautiful Brockwell park and some great pubs are within five minutes. Buzzy Brixton is a 20-minute walk away and it's here you'll find the vibrant night life, Brixton Village with its great pop-up restaurants, the Caribbean market on Electric Avenue, the Ritzy Cinema on regenerated Windrush Square and London's best music venue, Brixton O2 Acedemy. <br />Don't ask me why Airbnb lists my flat as Brixton, you'll be down the road in hip Herne Hill just out of earshot of the Brixton hubbub with a faster/cheaper/nicer (9min) overground rail link to Victoria and the City.
I am a journalist and writer and I'm always travelling -- usually in my VW camper van -- which is why my flat is available on Airbnb. I love fishing, cycling, kayaking, swimming, reading, exploring, history, cinema, music and of course my cat, Effie. Effie has just moved out to a new house down the road, so apologies to all the guests who loved to visit her. (Also no more cat hair in the flat!) 
I have lived in hip Herne Hill for 11 years, so I can give you local tips and answer any questions you might have. I will be on call during your stay if you need me anyway and I look forward to meeting you.
