  • The Nirvana frontman lived here in 1991 and 1992
  • Currently owned by Brandon Kleinman

Currently showing in cinemas, the new documentary Montage of Heck claims to offer the most intimate glimpse yet into the life of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. 

But one Los Angeles resident can offer fans an even more intense taste of the singer's life, by letting them sleep in his house.

Cobain lived in this two bedroom apartment on Spaulding Avenue in L.A.'s Fairfax district during the height of Nirvana-mania.

Now its current owner, Brandon Kleinman, 31, has listed it on Airbnb.

He wrote on the page advertising it: 'The place is the perfect combination of comfort, style, location and...rock n' roll history. 

'Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love lived in the home during the height of Nirvana's musical influence 91-92 to be specific. 

'At the time, Kurt was focused on song writing and his artwork, much of which was created in the apartment. 

'He (Cobain) was particularly into painting during this time and even decorated the walls in the living room and bedroom.'

'His favourite spot in the house: the bathtub. In it, he wrote the song 'Heart-Shaped Box.' 

The couple lived in the apartment in 1991 and 1992, just before Frances Bean Cobain was born

According to Charles R. Cross's 2001 Cobain biography Heavier Than Heaven, the singer and his wife rented the unit for $1,100 (£727) a month.

During the time they lived there, Love was pregnant with Frances Bean Cobain, while Cobain was focusing on song writing and his artwork, much of which was created in the apartment.

Current guests will have to pay a little more to enjoy the central LA location, with Mr Kleinman offering the apartment for $4,5654 (£3,016) a month, or $1,142 (£754) a week (which works out at about $163/£108 per night).

Up to three guests can stay in one bedroom of the 1,500-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath flat.

One of four homes inside a 1920's building, it offers a large living room with seating, a dining area and a small but fully stocked kitchen.

It is described as 'beautiful, decorated and clean' - a far cry from the squalor revealed in photographs taken when Cobain moved out in 1992, which showed graffiti on the walls and rubbish scattering every available surface.

Cobain is said to have written Heart-Shaped Box in the bathroom
The rooms where Cobain stayed have undergone a full renovation since he lived there

Cobain moved out when Love was eight months pregnant after a leak in the bathtub damaged the guitars, music and other possessions he stored there. 

Since then the place has been fully renovated and much of the idol's artwork has been covered up. 

Mr Kleinman told Vulture magazine: 'There's latex painting over the fireplace'

'I know there's tons of art painted on the actual mantel of the fireplace. I want to see if there's a way to get under the layered paint, to see what he painted under there.'

 'I tried to get to the original hardwood floor in the hallway, but I can't,' he said. 

'It's damaged because the bathtub leaked while Kurt and Courtney lived here. That's why they moved out.' 

The apartment is located in the middle of LA, five minutes from shopping mecca The Grove
