Buddy was a great host and has a really great place to spend time while visiting L.A. We arrived on a late flight and had no problem getting in given the secure code on the door. We were greeted by another friendly guest staying in a separate room in the pool house and were given a tour of the facilities before making a drink at the tiki bar! We brought our own drinks with us when we arrived, but everyone seemed happy to share in a reciprocal fashion.
The property is very spacious and eclectic with its own style and personality. The pictures give a perfect idea of what the set-up is like. The pool is big enough for a few laps, the front yard has a great spot with a fire pit and the outdoor table worked wonders when all the guests got together for a BBQ on our last night.
All in all we really enjoyed our stay at Disgraceland. You can't ask for more than friendly people in a safe spot that's just a hop skip and a jump away from Venice beach. There are also tons of great little restaurants within a block or two and a phenomenal health food store that offers fresh hot and cold meals - if you have food allergies like I do, Rainbows market is a MUST!
If you're looking for 5 start accommodations with room service waking you up with a knock on the door every morning at 7am you should probably keep looking.. but if you want a nice calm, relaxed zen-like getaway, I most definitely recommend staying at Disgraceland!
