My wife and I were very happy with our stay at Sophie's place in Hell's Kitchen. We felt safe walking in the neighborhood even late at night. The nearest subway stop is the 50th St Station for the C & E trains, which was about a 0.4 mile walk so very manageable. We also enjoyed being able to easily walk to Times Square and the theaters in Broadway since we saw a couple of plays. There is even a Target store less than a quarter mile away which was very convenient as well. The building itself was very quiet so we didn't have any trouble sleeping, and our unit was very clean with plenty of space. Sophie was also very accommodating by letting us drop off our bags prior to check-in so we didn't have to carry our luggage around town all day.
