This place was great for what I needed (somewhere close to Rush/UIC Medical Center). The coffee and stocked pantry was amazing! And who knew one would ever see chickens in Chicago. This place is right next to Douglas Park. The east side of the park (where this is located) is a safer area than the west side. Lagunitas brewery was a very cool spot and I highly recommend it. I did not get to interact with Carla much, but everything was setup great. The only minor complaint I have was that there was quite a lot of noise (music/footsteps/voices) one of the (week)nights I was there from about 12 am - 4 am. I'm a pretty hard sleeper so it didn't bother me that much, but I was definitely woken up a few times and I had an early interview that morning. Other than that, it was a great stay! Thanks Carla for sharing your house with me.
