For quiet, comfort, and privacy, it’s hard to beat this property. It’s a single large room with a full kitchen at the back of the property on a very quiet and attractive street. Up W. Carmen Ave. to Clark St., you will find numerous eateries and shops. Drawbacks: Like most Chicago neighborhoods, there is mostly (or only) street parking available. And it’s tough to come by after 5 pm and on weekends. On our first full day, we managed to park right in front of the house and didn’t move the car until we moved out five days later. Also, the owner refuses to allow tenants to use his driveway for unloading and loading. It’s a hassle that can be complicated by weather: It rained on us on arrival and departure. Would we go back? For the quiet and privacy the place offers, probably.
