The apartment, located near East Bay Waterfront Park, offers short-term stays with a two-night minimum, with more availability for summer bookings. The apartment retains some of its original fixtures and memorabilia, along with modern amenities. A night in the apartment now costs $250 to $300 on Airbnb, Realtor.com reports. Rock ‘n’ roll fanatics now have the rare opportunity to experience the space where Kurt Cobain produced chart-topping music and called home. A triplex downtown building Located on Pear Street in Olympia, WA, about 60 miles south of Seattle, this apartment was built around 1914, according to the Olympia Historical Society. It has three apartments, two facing the street and one at the rear.Kurt Cobain lived in this triplex building between 1989 and 1991, and it is now filled with Nirvana photos and memorabilia. Cobain wrote ‘about 75% of his total lifetime output’ while living here, according to the historical society. That stretch runs from the period around Nirvana’s debut album Bleach into the months before Nevermind. The listing describes the stay as a quiet downtown studio with a ‘unique opportunity to experience a one-of-a-kind vibe for musicians, artists and writers’. It is ‘an eclectic space with musical history’. The Olympia studio comes fully furnished with a queen bed and a serene backyard with a cherry tree. Wi-Fi and cable are also provided. The property is a short walk from East Bay Waterfront Park. The wall that named a song The apartment’s best-known story involves Kathleen Hanna, singer of Bikini Kill. In August 1990, after a night out with Cobain, she wrote ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his bedroom wall.Teen Spirit was a deodorant. Cobain did not know that, so he read the line as something closer to a slogan, and later borrowed it as a title. The song itself came later. Cobain began writing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ a few weeks before Nirvana recorded Nevermind in 1991. So the Pear Street wall also made its own contribution to Cobain’s musical career.Nirvana released three studio albums and disbanded in April 1994 after Cobain’s death. The band has reportedly sold more than 75 million records worldwide. Nevermind alone has passed 30 million copies.Cobain moved out of Pear Street 35 years ago, before that album made him famous. The apartment sits in a residential stretch of downtown Olympia, and the listing puts guests in the same rooms where the band’s early material took shape.The best part is that Cobain and his then-girlfriend, Tracy Marander, only paid about $137 for both rent and utilities for this triplex, according to YouTube travel creator Dave Seminara. Now, three and a half decades later, the place itself fetches around $300 for a night. A cosy stay The quiet Olympia getaway has attracted hundreds of visitors. The listing has a 4.8-star rating. The bathroom comes with hot water, bath essentials and cleaning products. The bedroom has bed linen, an iron, hangers and a wardrobe. There is also an entertainment unit with a TV, as well as books and other reading materials. There is a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher and first aid kit for safety. The kitchen comes with a fridge, freezer, coffee maker, toaster, microwave and cooking basics such as pots and pans, oil, salt and pepper. There is also adequate crockery and cutlery.Visitors also mention the proximity to places to eat and explore in downtown Olympia.‘A very special place, still can’t quite believe we stayed here. Many of the fixtures and fittings that Kurt would have used are intact (the shower, sink, taps, some door handles, the kitchen cabinets etc.) and probably much more. Many notable photos are also taken in the Garden...’ one visitor wrote.Another said, ‘For any fan of the grunge legend Kurt Cobain this is a must stay! The history of this apartment is legendary it was during the time of Bleach and beginning of Nevermind (aka this time period as Kurt’s happiest). They kept the unit as it would have been back in his day. It makes it an experience to live in this relic. To see how a ‘rockstar’ would live.’
