I have had the pleasure of staying in Sybille's lovely studio twice now over the last couple of years. The location is fantastic, with great access to public transport, shops and restaurants, as well as being an easy walk to the West End and Covent Garden. The apartment is clean, light and lovely, and i always feel so at home there. For me (as a solo female traveler), hearing the children upstairs every now and then gave me a sense of security and homeliness. Sybille herself is absolutely lovely, and her children are delightful - polite and friendly, all of them ready with a wave and a smile. I felt like a true neighbor and not a stranger staying downstairs.

The apartment is well-equipped with kitchen and laundry staples, WiFi and guide books about London and the area. Sybille is always available to answer questions or help out if you need her to, but equally she will not disturb you and allows you to feel totally at home in the studio. She accommodated all my needs, allowing me to leave luggage in her home when I had a late flight out and was very patient as we emailed back and forth while I was planning my trip and my dates for travel.

Frankly, I would not stay anywhere else in London - I look forward to other return visits :)
