If you're looking for an almost-hotel-like experience, this place is probably not for you. But when I heard there were chickens, I jumped to it! A garden spot in the city, right across the street from a park. Carla's place is comfortable and very clean. Lots of little extras in the kitchen, which was very convenient. Never the slightest problem with free street parking, and two blocks from the El. I felt very comfortable in the neighborhood. Funky-fresh.
