Our stay at Disgraceland was awesome. The room was clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Disgraceland is a collectors paradise, there is tons of cool artwork around every corner. We loved coming back to Buddy's place after a long day to have a drink by the pool. There is a health food grocery store just a few houses down which we went to for breakfast smoothies. This place also has salads, sandwiches and baked goods. Trendy Abbott Kinney is about a 10-15 min walk from Buddy's place. There you will find all kinds of shops and restaurants. Venice beach is about a 10 min bike ride. The roads here have bike lanes which is nice. I would highly recommend staying with Buddy, especially if you have never been to Venice. He is so knowledgable about the area and will have loads of recommendations for you.
