Carlton's place exceeded all my expectations. It is larger than the pictures make it seem plus it is very clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated. We felt so at home here! This location is a one block walk to the Metro which takes you right to all the sites . Convenient also to lots of stores, including Target so no need to worry about if you forgot something. The Columbia Heights neighborhood is filled with incredible restaurants and bars with an array of cuisines. I don't think we could have done any better for our stay in DC. Thank you Carlton!
