I had no idea that my arrival was to coinside with the Lord Mayor's parade, but, Sybille made alternate arrangements for me to get a key. The lower-ground floor apt. was an excellent place for me to stay for 8 days. The location, down the street from the Dickes museum was fantastic--Bloomsbury at its best. The kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping-living areas were quite clean and warm. There are 2 nearby tube stations, great eating spots on Leather Lane and Lamb's Conduit.
Sybille's family lives upstairs-- it is a family home with the expected noises from children. While the children are at school it is very quiet. There is a t.v. As well as a couch which makes the main room more than just a sleeping area. Even though Doughty Street has a lot of traffic it is not noisey.
The downside in staying at Sybille's is now the Camden Council requirement that guests stay for 22 days.
