We love Buddy. He is a chill, fascinating man, and to know him fills our hearts with joy. His home, his palace, is like home away from home. Never have we felt so comfortable being in a stranger’s home, interacting with other strangers to the point that we all share our true selves with each other. Its a very REAL experience, and we appreciated every second of it. Buddy makes you feel like you are exploring an artists’ colony surrounded by other visitors also exploring. The location is excellent with much within walking distance. We loved Rainbow Acres which is 1 block down the street; natural food and SO much more. The board room was perfect! Had great sleep, and being able to use the kitchen was a bonus. If you feel uncomfortable being around strangers, you will not here. Plenty of room to be by yourself if wanted, but also very easy to engage in relaxed conversation with other guests. Our social life was never better. Thank you Buddy. We are definitely coming back to Disgraceland when we visit Venice again.
