Sophie’s apartment is lovely decorated, clean and has all the basic things you can posible need (it even has two TVs!) I loved the big windows, even though I was not able to get the original one I had reserved, which was supposed to have really nice city views.
It is just a few blocks from Times Square and there are plenty of restaurants and grocery shops, being the Amish market the best (just make sure you bring your own bags or you can purchase them there for about a dollar.)
Besides Time Square, you can easily walk to Hudson Yards and Central Park.
Hell’s Kitchen, is a very busy area, and we felt safe. The block where the apartment is located at looks a little sketchy, but it’s perfectly safe. There is a doorman and he is very friendly. Also, there is a great restaurant a couple of blocks away called Mom’s Place. I highly recommend it.
Sophie is great at communicating with you and fast at responding your questions. We loved staying at her place!
