Modern 2 Bedroom Apartment Steps from Central Park! Overview
I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Modern 2 Bedroom Apartment Steps from Central Park!, I was a bit skeptical about the “steps from Central Park” claim. I mean, everyone says that, right? But after spending a long weekend here on 3rd Avenue in East Harlem, I have to admit they weren’t exaggerating. You’re literally a three-minute walk to the park’s northeast entrance at 110th Street, which honestly feels like discovering a secret entrance that most tourists never find.
The apartment itself surprised me in the best way possible. It’s in this four-star building that actually lives up to its rating – the lobby feels fresh and modern without being sterile, and the elevator doesn’t make those weird groaning sounds you get in some New York buildings. What really got me was how quiet it stays, even though you’re right in the thick of things. The bedrooms are properly separate (not those fake “2-bedroom” situations where one room is basically a glorified closet), and both have decent-sized windows that let in actual natural light. The kitchen is well-equipped too – I’m talking full-size appliances and counter space where you can actually prep meals, which saved me a fortune on takeout.
You know what really sold me on this place though? The location is perfectly positioned between two different New York experiences. Walk south toward 96th Street and you hit all the familiar Upper East Side spots – good coffee, reliable restaurants, that whole polished Manhattan vibe. But head north and east into the heart of East Harlem, and you discover this incredible food scene that feels completely authentic. There’s this Puerto Rican place on 116th that locals line up for, and a corner bodega that makes sandwiches that put most fancy delis to shame. Plus, getting around is actually easy – the 6 train at 110th is right there, and honestly, I found myself walking to a lot of places instead of taking the subway because the neighborhood has this energy that makes you want to explore. The only minor thing I’d mention is that 3rd Avenue can get a bit busy during rush hour, but it’s not honking-horns-all-night busy, just regular city hum. If you’re looking for that sweet spot where you can feel like a temporary New Yorker without paying Midtown prices, this place nails it.

Molt bona atenció – Marcos from Spain – May 18, 2025 (10/10)
Very Good – Andrei from Spain – May 9, 2025 (8/10)
Всё необходимое для проживания есть.
Относительный плюс – расположение 15 минутах от центрального парка.
What could be improved: Посуда, раковина и плита были грязные. Пришлось потратить время на уборку, чего совершенно не ожидаешь приезжая отдыхать.
Район не очень приятный.Very Good – Jaffery from United States – May 3, 2025 (8/10)
