What guests think
At Studio Zen, travelers highlight a quiet Kirkland neighborhood, an inviting garden patio, and a thoughtfully designed studio that stands out for spotless cleanliness, a very comfortable bed, and a modern, well-appointed bathroom and shower.
The host is consistently described as friendly, responsive, and accommodating, with easy communication and smooth check-in/out. Location is praised for proximity to downtown Kirkland, trails, and restaurants, and for straightforward access to Bellevue. Some guests note the compact size and limited kitchenware (such as no microwave), and one earlier comment about temperature control is balanced by a later review noting a new air conditioner. Expect a peaceful, well-kept stay with warm hosting in a quiet setting.

I loved my stay at Studio Zen. I stayed for 3 weeks while in town for work and it was such a beautiful atmosphere to come "home" to each night. The bed is comfortable; I slept great each night. The rain shower head is such a nice luxury. Newly installed AC kept the space nice and cool during some hot days. Outside the Studio door is a tranquil yard and patio with very comfortable seating. Barb was welcoming and so helpful with anything I needed. I'll definitely stay again if I don't move back to town first.

This place is a perfect choice instead of a hotel room. Very quiet and beautiful neighborhood. You will have a hard time finding a better host. For those who have complained in the past about the lack of air conditioning, there is a brand new air conditioner and it works well. The back yard is superb. It's a great place to relax. The bathroom is modern and the shower is fantastic. You get a nice little fridge and coffee machine. Thank you Barbara for a very pleasant stay. Andrea

Barbara's zen next was great. Great room, great bed, great shower. Unfortunately, due to weather, was not able to enjoy the backyard, but, if you are there during good weather, take my word for it. You will surely enjoy it.

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.

If I could give this little slice of heaven a 10 out of 5 I would! Really enjoyed relaxing on the patio. The owner of the home to which it's attached is simply lovely and very helpful and accommodating. When traveling solo, I don't need much. But this truly exceeded my expectations as it has everything I might want in a very compact space. I will be back (and maybe even invite my spouse!).

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.

Nice quiet location and beautiful house. The host was very helpful and communicative with anything we needed. Loved the surroundings and the bathroom. Some feedback: - The bedding and the coffee mugs provided had an odor though, which was a big damper. - There is no AC and we could not control the heating from our room, so it got pretty hot one night. - Would be good to add some basic utensils like plates and spoons and a microwave. There is a mini-refrigerator, which was very handy!

I’m joining the fan club for the shower head and bed! In all seriousness, this was a cozy and homey place to stay. The unit’s layout was well thought out and maximized the space available. The unit was clean and all amenities were top of the line. There was an outdoor area where we could sit outside and enjoy our meals. Barb and Bella were the most gracious and thoughtful hosts. Will be back!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kirkland is a great community to stay in. Barb’s a wonderful host! Her house is located close to downtown Kirkland and steps away from an inter urban trail. Very safe area. Very clean and was perfect for our stay. Her dog, Bella, is a treat and fun to have around! I’d stay there again for sure!

It was my second stay at Studio Zen in Kirkland , Seattle, and hopefully many more times. It is perfect for 1 or two people as it is small but so filled with a 5 star comfort as Barbara thought of everything. Just lovely.Thank you Barbara! Irene

If I could give this little slice of heaven a 10 out of 5 I would! Really enjoyed relaxing on the patio. The owner of the home to which it's attached is simply lovely and very helpful and accommodating. When traveling solo, I don't need much. But this truly exceeded my expectations as it has everything I might want in a very compact space. I will be back (and maybe even invite my spouse!).
