Carlton's basement apartment is in a perfect spot in the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Very convenient to anything you need including restaurants, groceries, and public transportation. This is a part of DC that we had never really explored and we're glad we got a chance to stay there. The space was perfectly sized for the two of us and had all of the necessities to make you feel at home. It is a basement so there's very little natural light, but that also meant that it stays cool even in the middle of the summer. Both beds were very comfortable. We had a few issues come up during our month-long stay in DC, but Carlton responded immediately each time which was greatly appreciated. Overall, we definitely recommend this as a good home base for visiting DC.
