I was looking specifically for an interesting place to stay for a month or so – found it!
Describing Buddy’s place Disgraceland as “unique” is an understatement. Buddy has amassed and arranged his Airbnb as if Route-66 held a yard sale. Especially if you’re from outside the US you’ll love this place! Think roadhouse Americana cabana living with a kitsch tongue-in-cheek flair. Buddy himself is interesting, engaging and accommodating. Yeah that’s typical of many Airbnb hosts, but really he makes an effort to help out and with a place like this he’s got resources.
My only 2 caveats are:
1) It’s an indoor/outdoor setting so don’t expect pristine cleanliness in the common areas until the COVID thing has blown over. In “these unprecedented times” Buddy is allowing his cleaning people their social distance until things get to the new normal.
2) Keep an open mind - fragile conservative moral feelers may find offence at a few of the art displays - lighten up or click the back-button and keep shopping.
Given this open air courtyard & pool environment, the social distancing thing currently trending is actually possible WITHOUT social isolation. For those who will venture out, Buddy’s place borders the corners of Venice, Culver City and Marina Del Rey so whichever vibe you prefer is within a walk/bikeride/drive, with decent restaurants in all directions. Neighborhood street parking has always been available during my stay.
Yep, I’d gladly come visit Disgraceland again.
