Cozy and peaceful 2 bedroom flat near to Brixton

Welcome to our home! It`s a 2 bed flat in a 1930s apartment building in Brixton Hill/Streatham Hill. We`ve got a cat called Lilly, lots of books (you`re welcome to read!) and we feel like it`s a peaceful and cozy place to be. We`ve got a king size bed in the main bedroom, and a double futon/sofa in the second bedroom. There`s a light and airy sitting room, kitchen with large fridge/freezer and all usual facilities and a bathroom. The block is well looked after by the live in caretaker, with a shared lawn out the front and lots of flowers and shrubs around. Our neighbours are friendly, and in the summertime there`s often people having picnics/children playing outside. The flat is set back from the road and away from main roads so is nice and quiet. We`ve got fast wifi and a TV you`re welcome to use too. In terms of accessibility, our flat is on the 2nd floor and unfortunately there`s no lift. We`re a couple in our 30s living with Lilly, children are welcome to stay but a heads up the flat is not set up for young children. If you`re a smoker, there`s a walkway outside the flat you can smoke on. Lilly is a indoor cat and she`d be your housemate during your stay, she`s pretty quiet and peaceful and sleeps a lot. She loves a bit of play when she gets to know you and would just need feeding twice per day/litter being put out if you`re staying a long time.
