If you ever wanted to sleep where Kurt Cobain slept, now’s your chance. The owners of an Olympia, Washington apartment where the Nirvana frontman once lived have turned it into an Airbnb.

For $250 a night, grunge fans can eat, sleep, and do whatever else in the same place where Cobain wrote some of Nirvana’s biggest songs. The home sits at 114 Pear St NE. Inside, the home is decorated with lots of pictures, posters, and memorabilia. It also features a nice backyard and a garage/shed where Cobain and Nirvana kept their gear.

In a message on the Airbnb listing, the lister wrote, “Quiet and charming downtown Olympia studio, fully furnished, queen bed, serene backyard with amazing cherry tree. A unique opportunity to take in some local music history. Includes wifi and cable.”
