Amazing views of the sunset every night. Occasionally some noise from people playing their car stereos in the street, and street musicians, but that's to be expected since you're right on the beach. I was there on the off season, so I'm not sure if there's more noise during peak season. It's right in the workout area south of the Santa Monica Pier - very cool location! They were very responsive and accommodating overall. I really enjoyed the space. They're renovating now, so I imagine it will be even better.
