You can rent Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love's old apartment
Yep, that's right. For $150 a night (or $3800 per month), you can stay in the same room Kurt and Courtney did during the time Love was pregnant with Frances Bean Cobain, (via Stereogum).
The folks over at Vulture did some digging around and found the place listed on Airbnb rental. As you can see via the picture above, the apartment, which is located on Spaulding Avenue in L.A.’s Fairfax district, was a little run-down back in the day, but current tenant Brandon Kleinman has spruced it up for potential customers.

Vulture spoke with Kleinman on the apartment:
The day I signed the lease, I was sitting with the landlord, and as soon as I signed on the dotted line, he said, ‘Okay, now I can tell you the real story behind this apartment.’ He kept it a secret because he wasn’t getting great tenants when he advertised the apartment’s backstory. He went on to tell me about what it was like having Kurt Cobain live here, and what to watch for. It’s been funny. Once every 60 days or so, I’ll get a weird, older gentleman, a rocker-type dude, sort of a burnout, knocking on the door, saying, ‘Do you know what used to happen here?’
An interesting little tidbit that finds its way out later in the article, is the fact that Cobain actually moved out of the apartment when Love was eight months pregnant with Frances. Cobain was storing guitars, artwork and journals in the bathtub when an unsuspecting water leak damaged everything it came in contact with.
