Carlton's place was perfect for hosting my mom on a recent visit to DC. The apartment was spacious, well decorated, clean, and easy to get in and out. It had all the amenities she needed. It is in a perfect location on a quiet street that is about a block of most neighborhood amenities: the metro and various bus lines, a large grocery store (with parking), many restaurants and bars, Target and other retail stores, and even two playgrounds. Would highly recommend to anyone considering a stay in Columbia Heights!
