Los Angeles, CA:
Looking for a cheap hostel in LA? Most are in the $35-$50 range, plus 14% for LA’s hotel tax. I tried out two cheaper options. I compared the two, but I deleted the “pros” and “cons” because who am I to judge whether these are good or bad?
Option 1 – Living in a van in the Burbank Walmart
- Free
- Access to bathroom and groceries
- No kitchen (but you can buy a camping stove at Walmart)
- People stared at me
- At 9am the van gets too hot to sleep in
- Get your wifi at Starbucks
Option 2 – Living at the cheapest Airbnb possible in Koreatown
- $20 – $25 per night
- You get a bed
- It’s a bunkbed
- There are 10 other people sleeping in the room with you
- The kitchen has very few utensils and is dirty
- You need earplugs and an eyemask because of that 10 other people thing
- Wifi included
