Absolutely LOVED our stay at The Carlton. The apartment is even more lovely and eclectic than the photos suggest. It's massive and friendly and suited our family perfectly. Our 3 yr old son loved it, as did his grandparents - perfect for all ages! We had a great trip and the location is perfect for a family. Loads of great places to eat, drink, great transport links into the city and the park is minutes away. The botanical gardens are a must-visit. Great organic grocery store at the bottom of Carlton Ave on Flatbush. 5th Avenue has a wealth of cafes and restaurants. Chauncey is a lovely host, quick to respond, kept checking in, and even left some toys for my son! The stairwell is shared with the upstairs apartment so you may run into Charles, Meighan or their little boy Theo, who are delightful and took time to suggest places for us to find food or playgrounds etc. We would totally recommend The Carlton!
