The studio is very clean and in a fantastic location in Old Town Pasadena! I loved being literally steps away from tons of restaurants and shops. I was traveling by myself for work and this was a really safe area with excellent city transportation to CalTech and around LA. I will point out that there is a club next door and it can get a little loud but after a night or so, it just becomes background noise and it seemed to be closed Sunday-Tuesday night. Overall, I enjoyed staying here for the location.
