Studio Zen
Studio Zen is a great value. Quiet, lush, beautiful backyard lock-off unit in a nice Kirkland neighborhood. The place itself is intimate in scale, but very cozy with modern style bathroom and shower area. The Owner is very nice and made the whole process easy. All in all, a great place to stay if you want a quiet, relaxing place to come home to after a fun day of exploration.

The most comfortable getaway place in Kirkland
I had a wonderful stay in this studio. The room is extremely comfortable, the air is fresh, and it offers nice privacy. Although it’s a studio, it has everything you need—there’s even a small table next to the refrigerator, perfect for working from home. The mattress is very comfortable, and the shower and bathroom are clean and beautiful.Barb is an amazing host. She respects your privacy yet checks in to make sure you have everything you need. The location is also great, with two or three hiking trails nearby. It’s only a 20- to 30-minute walk to the Google office, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and plenty of restaurants. I found it easy to get around without a car thanks to the sidewalks, and the neighborhood feels very safe. Overall, this is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a comfortable place in a nice, walkable area.

I had a great time here and I highly recommend it for people who want to get away and have a nice and quiet place to stay. 100 times better than the most expensive hotels I stay at in the past. But that is just me, some people like luxury. I like real. This is the real deal....

Nicely renovated studio in quiet neighborhood
Our stay was perfectly comfortable. Barb was thoughtful about what we might need; she provided coffee & tea, a mini fridge, and checked in to ask whether we needed anything else. The space is very small, but that was fine as we were out and about all day and just needed a place to sleep. The unit is attached to the larger house but has plenty of privacy thanks to a separate entrance. It’s a short drive to downtown Kirkland. I would definitely stay again.

Tranquility
Zen studio is wonderful and the location is minutes from the Kirkland DT and waterfront restaurants. The studio was perfect for me visiting family and friends and the owner Barbara is so accommodating with extras if needed. The bed is super comfortable and the ultra modern with fluffy towels bath and bath mats. Kuerig coffee maker and an electric kettle for tea etc. ample fridge space and an electric fire to cost up the studio. I loved my private space a retreat to get away from it all. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks Barbara for your hospitality.

A true gem!
Studio Zen was everything you read online and more! It was absolutely perfect for my stay. I appreciate the affordability and location. This is a quiet neighborhood and the studio is on the backside of the house, and looks out onto the amazing backyard! The host has done an amazing job at creating the perfect one night or more retreat! Parking is easy. Access is simple. It is a very safe area with many people out walking and enjoying the Seattle (at this time!) non-rain weather. I would put the opportunity to stay here over a 5 start hotel any day. Privacy. Comfort. Cute dog! Wonderful host.

Such an unique and lovely place
I had come to Seattle from Hawaii Island for the Pink concert and I contracted COVID at the concert and was pretty sick. This space was such a lovely and spiritual place to heal and recuperate. The studio is extraordinary and so well appointed with lovely design details, layered thoughtfully throughout the space. My host, Barbara, was so kind and thoughtful, and upon hearing that I had contracted COVID she offered to help with getting supplies or medical support if needed. The space is thoughtfully designed for comfort and a sense of peace. I so enjoyed both my time here and the opportunity to get to know my host, Barbara, as I recovered. Finding a space that was healing and a host that was kind and caring was such a gift. A really lovely, unique space for a get away, or space to land if you have work to do.

Little peace of heaven
I was traveling for a work conference in Bellevue and am so happy I chose to stay in Kirkland rather than a big chain hotel. The property was exactly as described, very peaceful and serene. The accommodations were perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable bed and exceptional shower, as well as the beautiful back yard porch. Barbara was very helpful both before and during my stay and a joy to meet. It was very easy to travel to Bellevue each day for my meetings and enjoy the lakeside events in Kirkland and surrounding areas. Highly recommend staying here and I look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful & relaxing
My husband and I stayed here for our first visit to Washington state (Seattle area) and we were thoroughly impressed with Ms. Barb's attention to what we needed, whether it was an iron, extra towels and even sugar 😁. It's a cozy and comfortable room and it was immaculate. Ms. Barb even gave us recommendations on places we should visit and where we can snag a bite to eat. The backyard was a zen garden. We will definitely be back.
