Disgraceland was our first stop on our world tour and it was a great place to start. Buddy has decorated the house with eclectic knick-knacks, signs and objects from around the states - we loved this style and it gave the place a cool look. Buddy was super friendly and gave us loads of tips for the area and there are also bikes that you can use for exploring. We got the bus down to Venice beach as didn't feel like cycling which was quick and only one dollar. We met some nice people whilst staying there as there are 3 other rooms that buddy rents out so the place has a cool hostel vibe to it. This room has a window looking out to the cool tiki-bar which is a great place to have a beer (thanks to his super-cold fridge) although it does mean you can hear people chatting if they're out there at night - although we were jet lagged so went to bed early. The wifi was really fast which helped us plan our days and book uber taxis which is a good alternative to hiring a car. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back!
