The 'Apocalyptic Bus'
Finally, for a ride on the wild side, how about a night on Captain Alexander's "apocalyptic bus"? You'll find the bus parked in the Arts District in downtown L.A., and when its not being used for movies, "it can also serve as a cheap hostel," according to the listing. Inside, there are two sofa beds, a hammock, one bathroom, a kitchen with a fridge and stove, and a TV -- and there's a roof deck, too. If you're handy with string instruments, know that the bus also comes decked out with a piano and banjo. The bus starts at $100 / night.
