The bar noise is really loud, like walls rumbling loud but this is only during weekends, the rest of the week there is zero noise. Silvio allowed us to leave our stuff before the check in time wich was very helpful and the place was very well taken care of. Everything around the studio is super near and you couldn't get any closer to the beach, pacific place, mall and shops than this. It is the perfect spot for visiting santa monica. We couldn't make the stove work so you may consider that on your groceries shopping list.
